Gilbert simulation center gets student nurses ready for real world
Virtual, augmented and extended reality are part of the simulation experience at the UArizona College of Nursing Gilbert sim center.
Whether it is creating difficult labor-and-delivery scenarios, treating patients who are resistant to help or even building familiarity with what a nurse would find in a typical hospital medication room, the simulation center at the University of Arizona College of Nursing in Gilbert was designed with nurses in mind. The Arizona Simulation Technology and Education Center in the Health Sciences Innovation Building in Tucson helps all Health Sciences colleges including Nursing advance their missions while also training other community organizations. However, the smaller Gilbert’s center has one goal in mind – make nurses better.
