Guidelines for Responsible Use of the Clinical Simulation and Learning Center (CSLC)

  • Students and faculty are to assist in clean up after each scheduled or practice simulation session by disposing of all trash in the designated container, and arranging chairs and equipment neatly
  • No eating or drinking is allowed in the CSLC other than covered drinks at the tables only, in the labs
  • Ink pens are not allowed in the CSLC. The ink will permanently stain the manikins
  • Students are expected to bring the appropriate equipment (stethoscope, pen light, scissors, and forceps) to use in scheduled practice or demonstration experiences
  • All students using the CSLC must be supervised by a faculty member or designee
  • Students are not to practice any invasive procedures on another person except for blood glucose monitoring under direct supervision of the CSLC faculty or designee
  • Sharps containers are provided for needles, intravenous needles, butterfly needles, syringes, and glass. No product wrappers, gloves, or tape should be put into sharps containers.
  • As a cost-containment measure, all non-contaminated supplies should be reused
  • Hand washing is to be done with soap and water or antiseptic hand cleanser prior to and after practicing nursing skills
  • Students are expected to wear their uniforms to all clinical simulation experiences
  • Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in loss of privilege to use the CSLC independently
