The Nursing Arts Lab (NAL) provides a variety of instructional methodologies to support our students’ successful completion of the Nursing Program. Among the instructional methodologies used are the following:

· Simulation: computer-based & adult, neonate, and pediatric manikins
· Role-playing
· Self-instruction
· Faculty-assisted instruction
· Procedural task trainers for deliberate practice of skills

The NAL is committed to student success. Within the NAL, faculty employ student-centric active learning and simulation experiences utilizing experiential learning theory to encompass the varying degree of students’ different learning styles. This encourages the broadening of existing assessment, communication, psychomotor and cognitive skills within a safe learning environment. Replicating the essential aspects of these skills in the NAL provides students with an opportunity to create muscle memory through deliberate practice to enhance the opportunity of skill transfer into the clinical setting. Simulation is used to approximate what students will encounter in the clinical setting. Students are provided with an opportunity to apply what they are learning in theory to real clinical scenarios in a safe, realistic learning environment, to assist them with transitioning into safe clinical practice. Key concepts in the NAL learning environment include the following: patient-centered care, patient safety, communication, teamwork, cultural competence, informatics, and evidence-based practice.

In the support of a rich learning environment and in conjunction with course learning outcomes, the NAL supports the following goals for students:

· Improve performance
· Improve critical thinking
· Increase confidence
· Increase active learning
· Increase competence
· Increase critical analysis of performance
· Decrease stress
