Abstract

For students in the nursing program at Brigham Young University, lab time in the Nursing Learning Center in the basement of the Spencer W. Kimball Tower is a regular part of the classroom experience. In this lab, nursing skills such as assessments, starting IVs, inserting catheters and cleaning wounds are taught and practiced. Once basic skill sets are taught, students are challenged with real-life scenarios requiring them to think critically and practice a subset of learned skills on a mannequin during simulation labs.
