settings, and skills are also learned in simulation labs. The growing use of the simulations
allows students to assume roles not available to students in a clinical setting. This allows
them to make critical choices and see the results of those choices. Graduate students who
complete the program will be able to obtain entry level nursing positions almost

university where they can earn their bachelors degree. Nursing graduates are able to be
