Concepts Integration Labs
The College of Nursing employs state-of-the-art simulation technology in training our students to combine technical concepts and critical thinking skills with the practice of providing quality patient care.
Our labs are equipped with mounted video cameras, and several of the rooms include an observation area that allows faculty and staff to view simulations so that students can be debriefed following each session.
Mission Statement for Concepts Integration Labs
The mission of the Concepts Integration Laboratories is to assure that learners have access to state-of-the-art basic and advanced learning technologies which enable them to competently perform essential interventions in diverse healthcare environments.
Vision Statement for Concepts Integration Labs
The Concepts Integration Laboratories foster excellence in the preparation of learners of all types and levels by assisting them to integrate discipline-appropriate science concepts, critical thinking and clinical judgment skills in the practice of quality patient care.
Our Labs by the Numbers
- 7,700 square feet of advanced simulation lab space on the second, third and fourth floors of the College of Nursing.
- 140+ simulations run during the 2019-2020 school year
- 55+ simulation manikins that are diverse in age, race, and gender that test a variety of skills
- 8 Simulation labs equipped with the latest medical and simulation tools available, including dozens of manikins, compressed air to allow simulation of medical air, oxygen and suction, stand-up computer stations, and well as computers that operate video and sound recording and playback for debriefing in each lab space.
- 2-way mirrors divide labs and observation that allow faculty and students to observe the simulation without distracting those taking part.
