Clinical Learning Lab
The Nursing Clinical Learning Lab (CLL) is a simulated clinical environment for you to practice the application of nursing theory as a graduate nursing student. The CLL is a safe and inviting learning space where you can practice your nursing skills and advanced assessment techniques. Outside of course-related sessions, the CLL is available for independent, self-directed student practice.
The CLL is approximately 4500 square feet of teaching and learning space that provides students and faculty with hands-on, interactive learning opportunities. The CLL features four different learning spaces:
- 8-bed skills training classroom with didactic space and adjacent medication room
- Flex training classroom with didactic space and 5 clinic exam tables
- Simulated clinic exam room
- Simulation suite with two simulation rooms, a medication/supply room, a control room, and a debriefing room
As a graduate nursing student, you will primarily use the CLL during your health assessment coursework, using the flex classroom and the simulation suite (including the simulated clinic exam room). These courses teach the necessary skills and techniques to conduct a comprehensive physical assessment. Outside of class, you can use the CLL for independent, self-directed practice.
