The Rutgers-Newark School of Nursing Simulation lab is approximately 4,250 sf of instructional space in the basement level of Ackerman Hall. The scope of work included the demolition and full renovation of the existing simulation spaces.
The structured clinical exam (OSCE) space includes: Clinical evaluation rooms with digital audio/ video capture, one-way mirror observation and audio for live viewing and a skills area with seven computer documentation stations for learner post-encounter exercises. Room includes VCR/DVD, large monitor, and digital audio/video capture. Though staged, real life scenarios are utilized with carefully trained standardized patients so that each student’s experience is identical. This makes it a powerful and valuable tool to assess a learner’s competence in a tested area and to support patient and family safety initiatives.
