Critical Care Nursing and Anesthesia Nursing Laboratory

An advanced training laboratory designed to provide high fidelity simulations for students who are learning about critical care or desire to refine their critical care skills. Also to provide an interactive system to teach both psychomotor skills and crisis resources management for both critical care nursing and anesthesia nursing master students. Critical care Lab. dynamically illustrates anesthesia processes and procedures, giving students an opportunity to gain experience in advance of patient care.  Certain patient situations are uncommon and therefore a trainee seldom gains experience in managing rare but clinically significant problems. With this advanced prepared nursing lab. Students will build skills and practice unusual events to achieve the best outcome in crisis management.
