Bachelor of Science in Nursing / Facilities and laboratories

The College of Nursing has established a number of specialized laboratories that contribute significantly to the teaching and practical learning process. This is to help students gain competencies in clinical skills applied before starting their clinical training in hospitals. The college attempts to ensure that all its laboratories are equipped with the latest equipment to provide advanced practical training for students to cover their various fields of study. Therefore, the College of Nursing has equipped four specialized scientific laboratories that help bridge the gap between theoretical training in the lecture hall and practical application in the hospital environment. Students are trained in all nursing skills using simulation manikins to help them hone their performance skills before applying the same skills to real patients in the actual hospital environment.

 

The faculty laboratories include:

1. Fundamentals of Nursing Laboratory

The Nursing Fundamentals Laboratory contains the necessary equipment and supplies to train nursing students on the various basic competencies that students need to take care of the disease. Students are trained in a safe environment and under the supervision of trainers, before applying them to actual patients in hospitals. Training takes place within the the framework of occupational patterns and by using different teaching methods, which include application to different models to prepare students to later engage in the practical training process in different hospitals according to the practical courses in the study plan.

 

2. Health Assessment Laboratory:

The clinical evaluation laboratory contains human models and special tools that allow the student to gain competencies related to conducting a comprehensive clinical examination of the patient, interviewing patients, diagnosis and documentation. This laboratory focuses on competencies related to diagnosing and determining normal and satisfactory results to distinguish any change in the patient’s condition in order to prepare the student for practical reality when caring for patients.

 

3. Adult Health Nursing and Critical Health Care

The Adult Health Nursing Laboratory contains simulation manikins and educational tools that allow the student to acquire the skills and positive attitudes appropriate for the care of adult individuals with acute and chronic conditions and their physiological, psychological, and social responses to diseases that affect their functional patterns. The laboratory provides the opportunity for students to represent the reality, scenarios, and application of the provision of nursing care to an adult with impaired functional health patterns, as part of the nursing process and the nursing care plan. Students practice skills in decision-making, problem-solving, and evidence-based nursing care.

 

4. Maternal and Child Health Nursing Laboratory:

Training is carried out in this laboratory using CDs that explains the process of pregnancy and childbirth, and training and application are carried out on models of the pregnant woman, the birth process, and newborns, so as to provide students with the skills, information and directions appropriate to care for women during the stages of pregnancy and childbirth. This laboratory also aims to provide students with the necessary competencies to take care of newborns and children and to qualify students to practice in the hospital and society through application to various models and tools and the laboratory includes models and models that illustrate the different stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and newborns.​
