Philosophy The Nursing labs offer supervised “hands-on” practice for basic and advanced nursing skills and procedures, as well as building confidence with effective communication skills. Lab experiences provide an opportunity for students to ask questions and to apply theory learned in the lecture and lab presentations. Students have the opportunity to organize and perform procedures and to practice their approach before doing so with an actual hospitalized patient.
