Simulation Laboratory
Overview of Simulation Laboratory
The Simulation Laboratory in the Nursing College is a modern teaching and learning facility designed to provide students with hands-on clinical experience in a safe and controlled environment. The lab helps students develop knowledge, clinical competence, communication skills, critical thinking, and confidence before providing care to real patients in hospital settings.
The laboratory replicates real hospital and community healthcare environments, enabling students to practice various nursing procedures, emergency management, maternal and child health care, and patient assessment techniques through simulation-based learning.
The Simulation Lab supports undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing nursing education programs by integrating theory with practical application.
