Del.icio.usIf you are looking for a state of the art program for your LPN to BSN degree, the University of Phoenix has opened a state of the art complex to train nurses in a near, real life atmosphere.
University of Phoenix will debut its immersive learning center featuring state-of-the-art wireless high-fidelity SIM Man 3G “patient” mannequins that cry, talk, sweat, cough and breathe; and a high-fidelity baby that reacts astonishingly similar to its live counterpart, at a private reception and grand opening on Thursday, Oct. 29, across from its Elwood Street campus in Phoenix.
The University is introducing the immersive learning program in its LPN to BSN degree program, with plans to integrate it into other nursing degree programs. Faculty facilitators are highly trained on the immersive learning approach beyond the University’s standard requisites for teaching. Their rigorous training includes 16 hours of clinical instruction, 8 hours of mentoring and a minimum of 16 hours of prior supervised teaching in a practical learning environment before they facilitate their first learning experience with nursing students.
Immersive learning and the use of simulation labs are valuable tools to train students in the skills and tasks they’ll use in their future nursing profession. A learning experience in a simulated clinical environment that mirrors the students’ real-world clinical or hospital rotation provides a safe, non-life-threatening atmosphere in which to make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, and ultimately results in improved risk management because of the student’s higher quality of care and immersive training.
Earning a nursing degree can give you an opportunity for a great career. Nurses are in demand in major metropolitan areas across the country.
