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.
