Outcomes Report

State-of-the-Art Technology

We offer our nursing students uniquely tailored clinical experiences by simulating the hospital setting in our 100,000-square-foot Nexus Building, with simulation labs, a smart-home healthcare system and telepresence robots.

Our state-of-the-art simulation lab provides our students with the highest-quality simulation technology in a safe learning environment so they receive the education, practice and exposure they need when applying for their first job.

Students have access to two simulation manikins:

Victoria, our birthing manikin, simulates a live birth and is one of only two such manikins in the tristate area.
Hal, our new state-of-the-art pediatric manikin, is the most advanced pediatric patient simulator in the United States—capable of simulating lifelike emotions through dynamic facial expressions, movement and speech.

在高保真模拟中，教师为护理学生提供远程支持，指导他们通过各种临床场景。
Telepresence robots like this one are used for remote monitoring in CESiL’s home-care suite as well as in the growing home healthcare field. They enhance both nursing and healthcare informatics students’ educational experience.
For College of Nursing and Public Health nursing students, learning in the various CESiL simulated settings and situations is like training in a real hospital. That experience was especially invaluable in the midst of the pandemic, nursing students said.
By practicing their clinical skills in a realistic hospital setting and learning how to safely and accurately administer medications, nursing students become well prepared for their first RN jobs.
Here, a cohort of students addresses an emergency code situation with a high-fidelity manikin and gains experience in electronic medical record processes. Various manikins, supportive supplies and state-of-the-art equipment enable faculty and students to translate theory into practice.
Faculty use this pediatric manikin to train their students in everything from routine to emergency experiences. When used with an obesity suit, the manikin enables nurses to learn about the treatment of child obesity, a growing problem in the 6-to-9 age bracket.
