The UConn Nursing School simulation lab recreates a hospital setting for UConn nursing students - fully equipped with a 'patient' (mannequin) and typical medical equipment. Through Community Outreach, volunteers will play the role of a friend or family member in attempt to give a more realistic experience. Volunteers will portray the challenges many loved ones face in a hospital setting - then help evaluate the nursing student's interactions and suggest improvements on their approach. Each week will address a different topic/illness/situation.
