Onsite Nursing Simulation Labs
While you’ll learn critical nursing concepts as part of the online component of our ABSN coursework, you can’t become an accomplished nurse without hands-on experience. That’s why another key part of the ABSN program at UST involves nursing skills and simulation labs.
At our ABSN program sites in Shenandoah and Sugar Land, or at our main campus in downtown Houston, you’ll work with instructors and classmates on developing and honing your nursing skills and clinical judgement using high-tech medical manikins and state-of-the-art equipment. Here, you’ll also gain confidence in developing critical nursing skills before doing so in a real-world clinical environment.
Skills Labs
Our accelerated BSN skills labs mimic the hospital setting and feature all the high-tech medical equipment and supplies you’d expect to find in such an environment as well as realistic medical manikins. Combined with nursing theory knowledge learned in the online portion of our ABSN program, you’ll use this facility and its tools to hone such nursing skills as:
- Holistic head-to-toe assessment
- Nasogastric (NG) tube insertion
- Blood pressure and heart rate monitoring
- Wound care
