The CLL is approximately 4500 square feet of teaching and learning space that provides students and faculty with hands-on, interactive learning opportunities. Each of our learning spaces have current functioning healthcare equipment and technology. The CLL features four different learning spaces:
- 8-bed skills training classroom with didactic space and adjacent medication room
- Flex training classroom with didactic space and 5 clinic exam tables
- Simulated clinic exam room
- Simulation suite with two simulation rooms, a medication/supply room, a control room, and a debriefing room
Once you are admitted to the nursing program as an undergraduate, you will use the CLL within your practicum courses. Each quarter, practicum courses focus on different skills associated with the course objectives for that quarter, which build on the skills learned in previous quarters. The CLL is a place for you to practice application of nursing theory. Through your practice, you will learn:
- Basic patient care and mobility (principles of hygiene, use of assistive devices such as wheelchairs, crutches, or canes)
- Comprehensive and focused physical assessment skills
- Safe medication administration (oral, topical, inhaled, intravenous, and more)
- IV therapy and vascular access management
- Proper procedural techniques and documentation
- Therapeutic Communication
