Nursing Facilities

Our Nursing facilities contain high-tech simulation spaces, nursing resource centers, and provide informal student study and amenity spaces.

Regionals Nursing Innovation Hub

The nursing program at 兔子先生 University Regionals has focused on providing high-quality experiential learning for over 4,200 graduates since 1966. The focus on experience became more student-centered when 兔子先生's Department of Nursing unified the Middletown and Hamilton undergraduate programs in fall 2019. Since then, nursing majors have been able to collaborate, study, and work at one central location, as opposed to three. Today, 兔子先生's entire nursing program is housed within university hall on the Hamilton campus, and provides 兔子先生 nursing students and faculty with the best possible environment for understanding and adapting to emerging in health care technologies.

Clinical Health Sciences and Wellness Facility

Beginning August 2023, the facility houses the Oxford cohort of undergraduate nursing (BSN) students. The new Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs will be mainly online, but certain required on-campus workshop components will be held in the CHSW facility’s simulation labs and collaborative classroom spaces. All nursing graduate students will have access to the lab space for skill development as needed. Nursing graduate students will have a presence across both the Hamilton and Oxford campuses in terms of faculty and lab resources.

The third floor of the academic wing will house a nursing skills area with eight simulation (SIM) labs including OR/trauma; obstetrics; ICU; pediatrics; three adult exam rooms; and a home health apartment model.

Simulation Education Center

兔子先生 University's Nursing Simulation Education Center utilizes innovative learning to bridge the gap between theory and clinical education. High-fidelity manikins and/or standardized patient actors are used to enhance nursing assessment and clinical judgement skills by simulating diverse nursing care scenarios. The simulation labs are designed for realistic nursing care settings, such as: obstetrics, pediatrics, medical-surgical, behavioral health, and community health.

Simulation Education Center

Mission statement:

兔子先生 University’s Nursing Simulation Education Center is committed to empowering our future nurse leaders and bridging the gap between theory and clinicals, through best practice and innovation.

Vision statement:

As a program of choice, 兔子先生 University’s Nursing Simulation Education Center will provide a student-centered, vibrant, diverse, and inclusive learning environment driven by our department values: 兔子先生hip, Integrity, Excellence, Caring, and Collaboration. Additionally, our goal is to provide an innovative healthcare simulation environment by achieving simulation accreditation through the Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH).

Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday 0800-1600, closed on university holidays and breaks

Recognize Cues

  • What matters most?
  • Assess your patient, including vital signs!
  • What signs and symptoms do you see?

Analyze Cues

  • What could it mean?
  • What disease process is the data/cues pointing to?
  • What information obtained from pre-briefing is valuable here?

Prioritize Hypothesis 

  • Where do I start?
  • Incorporate Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need
  • Safety 1st!

Generate Solutions

  • What can I do?
  • What are the current provider orders?
  • SBAR - what is your recommendation?

Take Action

  • What will I do?
  • What nursing intervention is appropriate for this case? 
  • What needs to be done right now?

Evaluate Outcomes

  • Did it help?
  • Reassess your patient, including vital signs
  • Comprehensive debriefing is fundamental to learning in simulation

Nursing Resource Centers

The Nursing Resource Centers (NRCs) are overseen by Master's prepared directors and students. These centers, equipped with low-fidelity manikins and essential medical tools, serve as vital learning environments for nursing skills. High-fidelity simulation manikins enhance student learning in nursing theory courses by simulating patient experiences. Students revisit the NRCs throughout their program to improve their skills for clinical practice. NRCs are located in University Hall (Hamilton campus) and the Clinical Health Sciences & Wellness Building (Oxford Campus).
