Dress Code:

The SLC represents a patient care area.  The expectation for nursing students, nurses, and faculty is that they will wear a nursing or student uniform, a lab coat or suitable hospital attire. We do not issue lab coats for anyone who has forgotton their uniform.  No open toe shoes are allowed.

Food and Drinks may NOT be consumed in the Simulation Learning Center

 The equipment is very vulnerable and the center is considered a patient care area.

Policies of the SLC:

  1. No “real” medication is to be used in the Simulation Learning Center. None of the supplies and equipment in the SLC should be considered sterile or appropriate for actual patient use. Do not practice invasive procedures on each other.  Students who use supplies or equipment inappropriately will be considered engaging in unprofessional conduct.
