The primary purpose of the skills labs is to enhance classroom activities and support student learning in a safe environment. These areas are equipped with hospital beds, and manikins for practice of skills before they are attempted in a clinical setting with actual patients. Additional training models are available for use for special skills such as injections, IV fluid therapy, ostomy care, etc. Any invasive procedures are to be performed ONLY on manikins and training models. Students may voluntarily serve as a patient for another student during practice, testing, or simulations. No invasive procedures are to be performed, on any person, ever.
NO needles or sharps are to be removed from the HSRC. (No exceptions)
