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.

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.
