Students are expected to practise as much as possible all the nursing clinical skills taught them.
A definite attraction for all nursing students is the simulated bed area for patients located in the main area of the NCSU comprising modern equipment like the DDA medication cupboard, the blue linens, the curtains for privacy, the bed-side tables, the patient cabinets, the eight manual crank beds, the two child cots, and the basinets. In addition, there are also the life-sized comprehensive practice mannequins (Simon and Suzie) found resting in their beds at opposite ends of the ward, and a convincingly realistic ‘baby’ mannequin (Mindy) lying awake in the baby cot. Students find great satisfaction interacting and practising with Simon, Suzie, and Mindy. In future, these mannequins will be instrumental for students to practise the more invasive nursing clinical skills required of professional nurses today. Opposite the beds are the dual nurses’ stations which are well-equipped with tables, chairs, and a medical case file for patient information.
Definitely, learning nursing skills are a great challenge. However, the School of Nursing at UCSI University takes pride in how the NCSU empowers its students to become confident and proficient in their clinical skills, in their journey towards becoming a registered nurse. nurse.
