School of Nursing Facilities and Resources

State-of-the-art facilities and resources

The 325,000-square-foot Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences building, located on the North Haven Campus, is a state-of-the-art learning environment with simulated emergency and operating rooms, as well as a range of other clinical settings. We believe that simulating the front lines of patient care is the best way to provide future nurses with impactful learning experiences.

You’ll learn to assess patient needs in our 7 high-fidelity simulation suites with lifelike adult, pediatric and neonatal manikins and manage multiple situations in our 16 standardized patient rooms. Students also have access to a Human Anatomy Laboratory and skill labs that feature anatomical models and the same equipment used in real clinical settings.

These facilities and labs help you master technical and decision-making skills in diverse environments and under the guidance of faculty mentors.

Our simulation program has received accreditation in the area of teaching and education from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, the largest health care simulation accrediting body in the world. Calling the university’s collaboration among health care programs “exemplary,” SSH stated that Quinnipiac provides a solid foundation for synergistic simulation initiatives and expanded interprofessional education.
