Skills Labs

Before you can jump in and perform a life-saving procedure, you need to have a thorough mastery of basic nursing techniques. Skills labs held at our Nursing Resource and Simulation Center allow you to hone essential nursing skills like checking vital signs or inserting a catheter.

Our nursing labs are fully equipped to resemble a realistic clinical environment, using medical simulators and advanced medical equipment you’ll find in hospitals and health centers across the country.

Your skills labs will teach you how to perform fundamental nursing tasks, such as:

• Performing head-to-toe assessments
• Checking patients’ vital signs (e.g., breathing, blood pressure, pulse)
• Nasogastric intubation
• Administering wound care

Learning how to perform these skills in a safe, controlled setting without risking harm to real-life patients helps students build their confidence, so they can enter clinical rotations prepared to carry out fundamental nursing duties.
