ATTENTION! Close Alert Box Oklahoma City Community College, including the Family and Community Education Center and the Capitol Hill Center, will open on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 7:00 a.m. All classes and activities will resume as normal.

Employees who cannot reasonably return to work tomorrow should contact their supervisors, if possible.  OCCC has generous leave policies that may be used to take additional days off work, if necessary.

Due to far reaching effects of the recent tornado that damaged Newcastle, Moore and the south Oklahoma City metro, Oklahoma City Community College has extended the deadline by which faculty must turn in final grades. OCCC faculty were asked to have grades turned in by noon today, but some may have been unable to meet this deadline. This could result in delay to grades being posted. Students that have questions about their grades should contact the Office of the Registrar at 405-682-7512.

Students who have missed an intersession class are urged to contact their professors about any absences due to the damage resulting from the recent tornado and the closing of the campus.

Additionally, the college will be flexible with students who are enrolled for the summer intersession that started on May 20, 2013. Students who are now unable to attend intersession should contact the Office of the Registrar at 405-682-7512.

Nursing Campus Laboratory

Entrance to Nursing Lab

The Simulation and Nursing Campus Laboratories at Oklahoma City Community College provide a rich hands-on learning environment for the Nursing Program...
 

Statement of Purpose

It is the goal of the Simulation and Nursing Campus Laboratories to provide students with an environment that builds confidence, supports learning and improves critical thinking. 
 

Simulation and Skills

It is in the Simulation and Nursing Campus Laboratories that students are introduced to nursing skills, concepts and technologies prior to clinical experiences... The overall goal of our simulated clinical experiences is to assist the student in achieving and maintaining high standards of care for both common and uncommon clinical events. 

Nursing students have access to several low- to high-fidelity simulators while enrolled in the nursing program. Simulation is used to replicate clinical situations to prepare the student for clinical practice through the application of theoretical knowledge and skills acquisition in a safe, supportive learning environment. 

The simulation and nursing campus laboratories are home to multiple mid- to high-fidelity simulators, to include:

  • Noelle® birthing simulators
  • BabyHal® infant simulator
  • NursingBaby® infant simulator
  • NursingKid® pediatric simulators
  • NursingKelly® adult simulators
  • NursingAnne® adult simulators
  • Virtual I.V.™ Simulators
  • Human Patient Simulators (HPS)®

Additionally, the Simulation and Nursing Campus Laboratories offer a variety of partial-task trainers and clinical equipment designed for the care of adult, geriatric, psychiatric, pediatric, maternity and newborn patients in the acute, critical-care or long-term/home settings.

 

Nursing Campus Laboratory Support and Resources

Small group and individualized sessions are scheduled on the Nursing Campus Laboratory calendar to assist students with: 

  • dosage calculation
  • psychomotor skills
  • test-taking strategies
  • care-planning and concept-mapping
  • organizational skills

A reference library is available for students in Nursing Practice Lab 3. Materials include nursing resource materials, drug reference guides, NCLEX review, dosage calculation, games, etc.
