Teaching and Learning Beyond the Classroom
Keeping with Lasallian tradition, we believe that all knowledge is practical and empowering and provide learning opportunities beyond the classroom that allow students to develop the skills they need to succeed in their professional lives.
Interprofessional Simulation Center
The Interprofessional Simulation Center prepares nursing students for real-life, evolving situations that they will encounter in their professions, and encourages the type of critical thinking the NCLEX-RN® exam assesses.
Nursing Learning Resource Center
The Nursing Learning Resource Center helps Nursing students sharpen their clinical skills and work with faculty to gain a hands-on experience and examine real-life scenarios. A tutoring and simulation space is outfitted with resources to supplement in-class instruction and give students extra assistance in putting into practice the content and skills they learn in their classes.
