Mount nursing faculty integrate innovative learning strategies throughout program to assure that students are as prepared as possible for this challenging exam. The Mount’s nursing learning lab, which opened in May 2010, enables health sciences faculty to teach more real-life lessons to smaller groups, increasing the amount of hands-on learning. The lab includes a high fidelity simulation lab using SimMan 3G technology, an IV simulation room, a 12-bed station updated skills lab that mimics the hospital room of today.
