SVC Offers Simulation Learning
Watch a short video of SVC Nursing students in the lab.
SVC has ventured into simulation learning in a newly constructed, state-of-the-art simulation laboratory in Hunter Hall. Simulation learning allows learners to practice collaborative learning, which will enhance their cognitive, social and leadership skills. This year, within the laboratory setting, learners will be able to practice a wide range of nursing skills (from birth to adulthood and beyond) on anatomically correct patient simulations in the safety of a simulated practice setting. They will participate in computer-programmed simulation of complex medical, surgical, pediatric and psychiatric emergencies. Learners will also engage in computer-programmed conversations to practice interviewing and communication skills. The simulation laboratory setting allows for repetition of difficult skills and the opportunity to practice unusual cases that a learner may face in real-life, clinical situations. Equipped with advanced audio and visual technology, coverage of simulation scenarios allows for group debriefing with discussion, analysis and evaluation.
