Simulation Labs

Simulation labs in NSTC provide the following opportunities:

  • Realist simulation environments, including critical care, acute care, labor and delivery, and operating room settings
  • State-of-the-art high-fidelity simulation technology
  • Low risk, safe, and supportive learning environments

Simulation technology can create common and unique patient scenarios.

  • Monitors show physiologic changes according to patient condition changes in real life.
  • Simulation learningoffers unique and powerful opportunities in following learning essentials: communication, teamwork, care, case management, leadership, patient safety, confidence, and excellence.

Simulation-based nursing education provides a controlled simulation environment to imitate a real-life patient care setting: full-sized hihg-fidelity patient simulators, task trainers, and diagnostic equipment. Through simulation, learners can practice and master nursing skills without putting patients at risk.
