A core component of the UC nursing coursework takes place within the simulated environment, where students have the opportunity to develop and hone clinical skills and behaviours in spaces that look and feel like the clinical environment. UC nursing students can expect to spend hours rehearsing and practicing together utilising a myriad of simulation trainers, manikins, emerging technology (such as AI and VR), and even actors as they prepare for clinical practice.
