Courses covered in the lab
  • Medical and Surgical Nursing practice 1 (22065)
  • Medical and Surgical Nursing practice 2 (22068)

These courses aim to provide comprehensive practical training in the field of nursing, consisting of two main components:

  1. Nursing Simulation Lab: This component enhances students' skills through intensive practical training, relying on various clinical scenarios that allow students to discuss and analyze in a realistic simulation environment. It also includes studying diverse clinical cases that align with the theoretical content of the course, thereby enhancing students' practical understanding and preparing them to confront real medical challenges.
  2. Field Training in Hospitals: This part focuses on introducing students to common health conditions affecting adults and the elderly with various health issues. Students explore the clinical manifestations of these conditions, treatment methods, and healthcare management according to different body systems. Students are encouraged to apply the nursing process critically while considering ethical principles and safety standards, relying on evidence-based clinical guidelines.
Major equipment and facilities in the lab
  • Intermediate simulation manikins for practicing clinical procedures.
  • Patient beds to provide a realistic simulation environment.
  • Patient files for documenting information and care provided.
  • Vital signs measurement devices (such as blood pressure monitors and heart rate monitors) to enhance the learning experience.
  • Basic medical tools (such as injection instruments and dressings) for teaching practical skills.
Occupational health and safety instructions of the lab
  • Implementation of Occupational Safety Procedures: Students must adhere to necessary preventive measures to minimize the spread of infections and prevent transmission among themselves. This includes strictly following safety instructions at all times.
  • Availability of a First Aid Kit: A first aid kit is available in the lab, equipped to handle emergency situations, ensuring immediate care when needed.
