Our Nursing Simulation Center gives students firsthand experience working with a variety of patient conditions. The 8 laboratories are equipped with monitors, IV pumps, beds and other equipment found in real critical care, pediatrics and obstetrics rooms. Life-size, computerized mannequins simulate symptoms, diseases and conditions that nurses are likely to see in real hospital settings. For example, the maternity room includes a mannequin that delivers a baby. Other mannequins blink, cry and even speak through a microphone operated by instructors.
