Labs and Research Centers

UW Oshkosh’s College of Nursing utilizes the latest technology and innovation to prepare students to serve as nursing leaders in the healthcare industry. The college’s four laboratories provide students with hands-on learning opportunities to exercise clinical skills.

In the college’s Learning Lab, students learn crucial nursing skills, including suctioning, administering injections, IVs and catheters, and conducting health assessments in an environment that utilizes actual hospital equipment and supplies.

With four fully equipped hospital rooms and high-tech, interactive computerized models, the Simulation Lab exposes students to real-life heathcare situations in a safe and controlled environment.  

A Computer/Study Lab operates eight computer stations and an IV simulator computer. Software programs, integrated into the curriculum, simulate real life clinical situations and allow students to make critical nursing decisions.

Replicating a primary care clinic, the Graduate Laboratory provides students with a realistic clinical experience. Included are several fully equipped exam rooms, a larger exam room for demonstration purposes, complementary therapy exam room and a mini diagnostic lab.

In additional to the three labs, the College of Nursing also operates a Research Center dedicated to assisting faculty and students with research and grant projects.
