Learning Facilities
A nursing skills lab dedicated for use by the nursing students in our program is located at Trinity Health Grand Rapids Hospital. The lab has current hospital equipment and instruments and features mannequins for students to practice on. We also have a state-of-the-art simulation lab located on campus at Aquinas College, with infant, pediatric and adult simulation mannequins. The simulation lab mimics patient rooms in a medical unit, an emergency room, and an operating room.
The clinical supervision ratio is one faculty member supervisor for every six to eight students,
allowing individualized attention for each student.
