Clinical Skills Laboratories

PolyU School of Nursing houses clinical skills laboratories that resemble real-life hospital wards to a great extent. This allows students to have an authentic experience of clinical work as they can practice their nursing skills and get a sense of working in a ward setting that is full of unexpected occurrences and emergencies here, before setting off to a real hospital ward.

Well-equipped as hospital wards

Clinical skills laboratories are well equipped and furnished as hospital wards for nursing practice. Each has ward beds, equipment and a computerized audio-visual system to facilitate teaching, demonstration and return-demonstration. Special features of the laboratories include wireless patient simulators and a mimic bathroom. To provide students with a realistic clinical experience, a mimic bathroom is designed in GH185 to foster the learning of patient transfer, assisted bathing, and promote the awareness of patient safety and occupational safety.

Simulation-based scenarios

To facilitate students' practising of nursing skills in various ward situations of emergency and promote their abilities to work with other disciplinary teams, one of the laboratories is designed as a "Live-Ward" to provide an authentic environment.

Simulation-based scenarios can be applied concurrently to a dummy, a standardised patient and a simulator. The laboratories are equipped with up-to-date nursing equipment to promote student readiness and their clinical skills competency. A set of audio-visual system is also employed to enrich learning process and experience.

Wireless Patient Simulators

For sophisticated Wireless Patient Simulators (Apollo Prehospital) are installed in FG412, FG413, FG518 and FG519, which allow students to acquire fundamental nursing skills in caring for patients and enhance their clinical reasoning.

The systems directly support several learning modules: Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Disaster Medical Readiness (DMR), Cardiopulmonary Critical Situations (CCS) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS). They facilitate and enhance study in various advanced teaching curricula.
