I went up to the Methodist College of Nursing campus yesterday and again today to check out the SIM lab. The staff at both are VERY helpful and open to suggestions from students to make the school better. There are about 550 students that attend the various programs at the school.
The Methodist Hospital (where clinical are held) is pretty huge. There is even a gym with a few lap lanes that students can use. The school is on the opposite side of the highway from the hospital and has a few study rooms and a nice library. The school is actually an old hotel that the hospital bought and converted into a school. In fact, there are bath tubs in all of the faculty’s offices.
The SIM lab has several rooms that simulate an ICU, ER, PED and regular patients rooms. Katie, the director of the SIM lab says that there are hardly ever any visits to the SIM lab from Second Degree students. I plan to visit often because it is a great place to practice before doing procedures on real human patients.
