Students in the Martin-Herold College of Nursing and Health (MHCNH) are prepared to provide outstanding care and offer compassionate service—all by learning in a practical way to meet community needs.
Our Clinical Simulation Laboratory (CSL) functions to support the nursing education curriculum.
Learning opportunities simulate authentic nursing practice and help students learn and practice clinical skills required for entry-level nursing practice. Nursing students participate in a variety of learning activities and clinical simulations with a wide range of nursing equipment and qualified educators.
A solid grounding in principles such as national patient safety goals, infection control, nursing practice for registered nurses, and the American Nurses’ Association code of ethics for nurses helps students translate learning from the CSL into clinical practice.
Mount Mercy’s telehealth delivery system and lab upgrades have had a direct impact on our nursing students. The main campus telehealth room connects to a provider telehealth room at the CRST International Graduate Center, allowing students the opportunity to simulate the nurse role at a distance.
By integrating telehealth into my practice, I'll have the ability to provide care in remote locations where care likely did not exist before. By lessening this disparity, I, along with other health care providers, can generate a healthier Iowa!
