The College of Nursing offers state-of-the-art Labs and a Media Center.

Therapeutics Lab
This Lab is utilized for practicing learned nursing skills.
This is a client simulation area. Models, equipment, and
supplies are available for group and individual practice.

Physical Assessment Exam Rooms

Assessment tools are available in these individual examination
rooms that are used for practicing interactive physical examination
and evaluation skills. Practice time can also be reserved outside of class
(students are encouraged to work with a partner to practice these skills).

Media Center
The Media Center is available for students to develop their cognitive skills.
Carrels are available for individual or small group audio/video, computer,
or study needs. Books, magazines, instructional, and informational resources
are also available for students to use.

A Viewing Area is available for small class or group A/V or computer use.
Reservations will be required during periods of high usage. Computers, using

Windows and Macintosh operating systems, are available for student use.
Software for simulation, word processing, publishing, data base management,
statistics, graphics, and email are available. Computers are networked and have
access to the University and the Internet.

Mail Folder: Each nursing student is assigned a Nursing "mail folder" (which is
located in the Therapeutics Lab's foyer).

General Guidelines: Entrance to all lab areas is through the Therapeutics Lab
door (Dion 203). Exit is through the same door. Please enter this area quietly, as
classes may be in session. All lab areas are to be left neat. Reusable equipment and
supplies are to be returned to their proper areas; all disposable are to be placed in the
proper receptacles. As client simulation areas, these areas should be left as you would

leave your client's area - neat.

Loans: With the Lab Director's approval, some items may be borrowed for student practice

or client interactions. These items must be returned by the due date. Borrowing privileges

will be forfeited and grades can be withheld until items are returned. Any lost or damaged

items should be reported to the Lab Director as soon as possible.

Reservations: Requests for all three lab areas, nursing equipment, and supply setups should
be made at least one week in advance.
