Learning Lab

Dedicated as the Elmer Leach Learning Laboratory for Nurses in 1987, the College of Nursing's Learning Laboratory provides a hands-on learning environment for students. Students learn a variety of nursing skills including suctioning; administering injections, IVs and catheters; and conducting health assessments using simulation models. Opportunities are provided for students to practice with each other under close supervision by faculty.

Students attend three lab courses sequentially during Sophomore II, Junior I and Junior II semesters, which utilize the Learning Laboratory. Individual supervised practice appointments are available.

Equipment in the Learning Lab is the same as the equipment currently in use at healthcare facilities where students have clinical placements. Supplies and equipment are also available for students to check out for practice outside of class.

The Learning Lab is an open, welcoming, safe place for students to learn nursing skills that are needed for direct patient care.
