Opened in August 2010, St. David's School of Nursing at Texas State University at Round Rock's simulation lab occupies approximately 25,000 square feet of space on the 2nd floor of the Nursing building. The simulation space consists of 4 lab rooms containing from 5-10 hospital beds, 2 individual simulation rooms with observation windows to the audio/video control room, a health assessment lab room with 6 open bays with exam tables, a suite of 6 rooms representing a private medical office, and a home care unit.
The simulation lab has a vast inventory of products to provide an educational environment for the nursing students. Included in this inventory are life size patient simulators that can mimic many human functions such as the rise and fall of the chest that occurs during breathing, the ability to talk and provide details of symptoms to students, and blood pressures that can be measured using the appropriate tools.
