Onsite Nursing Simulation Labs
As part of the University of Mount Saint Vincent ABSN program, you will complete guided nursing skills and simulation labs at our program site locations throughout New York City. Through these nursing simulation labs, you will put the knowledge you have gained through your nursing coursework to use and develop real-world skills to apply throughout clinical placements as well as your future nursing career.
Our accelerated BS in Nursing skills and simulation labs are administered in a mock clinical setting, with high-tech medical manikins and hospital-grade medical equipment that will familiarize you with real, on-the-ground patient care scenarios, similar to those you will encounter countless times as an RN.
Nursing Skills Labs
Nursing skills labs expand on what you have learned in coursework by allowing you to practice foundational skills in a laboratory setting before transitioning to real-world patient care. Under your instructor's guidance, you will learn to provide core nursing skills, including:
- Patient head-to-assessments
- Wound care
- IV placement
- Medication administration
- Nasogastric intubation
If you need additional practice, our faculty are available to offer guidance, and our laboratories are open to students to practice skills outside of scheduled labs.
Nursing Simulation Labs
In nursing simulation labs, students practice navigating mock clinical scenarios in a safe, simulated setting. With high-tech medical manikins as your patients, you will be tasked with identifying what is occurring, determining how to react, and collaborating with your team to deliver care.
These medical manikins can mimic a variety of conditions, from heartbeats to allergic reactions, offering a dynamic experience for students to develop their clinical judgment.
Through these lab experiences, you will develop your ability to analyze and react to situations in real-time while developing the bonds with your instructors and cohort that you will later share with fellow healthcare professionals.
After each nursing simulation lab, you will participate in a group debriefing with instructors and fellow cohort members. In each, you will be able to reflect on what went well and what could be improved in a judgment-free environment.
Work with Esteemed Faculty
Our accelerated BS in Nursing program works due to the quality of our instructors. Every University of Mount Saint Vincent faculty member is talented, intelligent, and passionate about the work they do, and is eager to pass their knowledge on to you as an accelerated nursing student.
This means that during nursing simulation labs, you will have a guiding hand at every step ready to answer questions and correct any situation in which you need extra guidance.
If you should also ever need additional practice or clarification, a faculty member will be ready to discuss any points of concern you have. It’s our goal to help you succeed—and with the knowledge gained through these accelerated BS in Nursing skills and simulation labs, you will.
