The Conway School of Nursing is designed to provide students the most real-world nursing experience possible right on campus. ![](/themes/custom/cua_standard/idfive-component-library/public/images/divider-line.svg) ## Your State-of-the-Art Education Begins Here Our building boasts over 16,000 square feet of simulation and lab space that mimics real hospital floors and offers state-of-the-art equipment for our students. These spaces help our students learn not only about the human body, the tools, and environment in which they'll work, but also how to compassionately care for the human person. ![Thumbnail for video Inside Catholic U’s High-Tech Nursing Classrooms & Simulation Labs](https://img.youtube.com/vi/vCsPGE1Wcsw/maxresdefault.jpg) Play Video { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "VideoObject", "name": "Embedded Video", "description": "", "thumbnailUrl": "https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/vCsPGE1Wcsw\/maxresdefault.jpg", "contentUrl": "", "embedUrl": "https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vCsPGE1Wcsw" } ![student filling an IV in a simulation hospital room at the nursing school](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/ks_feature/public/2026-05/ER%20room.JPG?h=8b7966f8&itok=Y2-jyBUX) ### Simulation ER Rooms 2 simulated Emergency Departments with 17 open practice bays and 3 enclosed bays for isolated patient simulations. ![students and a professor checking someone's blood pressure in a nursing simulation](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/ks_feature/public/2026-05/sim%20labs%20hero.jpg?h=b9af0d62&itok=kwq8SEqD) ### Hospital & Primary Care Exam Rooms 8 high-fidelity hospital rooms for acute care, including 1 for operations, and 6 primary care exam rooms. ![studdents and instructors reviewing a paper in the simulation area of the conway school of nursing](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/ks_feature/public/2026-05/debrief.JPG?h=8b7966f8&itok=ks4x8u84) ### Post-Simulation Debriefing Rooms 7 debriefing rooms for reviewing student performance with instructors after simulations. ![](/themes/custom/cua_standard/idfive-component-library/public/images/divider-line.svg) ## Developing the Knowledge & Skills for Patient Care Our facilities and professors help you hone the knowledge and skills to care for patients by simulating clinical scenarios in a lifelike setting. We closely match the spaces of hospitals and acute care facilities to prepare you for the path ahead. ![students conducting a doctor visit simulation](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/ks_feature/public/2026-05/bedside%203.jpg?h=b9af0d62&itok=o8VWntiT) ### Conducting Patient Exams, Bedside Care, and More Learn the instruments, steps, and techniques you'll need for conducting: a comprehensive head-to-toe physical exam; wound care; ostomy care; patient mobility and fall prevention; nasogastric tube placement and oxygenation; intermuscular, intradermal, and subcutaneous injections; and other procedures. ![male and female nursing students in a simulation room](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/optimized_original_size/public/2026-05/bedside%201.jpg?itok=g_ppR3V7) ![student performing a clinical simulation on another student](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/optimized_original_size/public/2026-05/nursing%20sim.jpg?itok=85EFTxis) ![students operating a machine in a simulation area of the conway school of nursing](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/optimized_original_size/public/2026-05/bedside%202.jpg?itok=Gn_8X1rV) ![](/themes/custom/cua_standard/idfive-component-library/public/images/divider-line.svg) ## Labs: From Studying Fundamentals to Virtual Reality Our spacious labs provide an environment for classes, research, and learning about microbiology, the human body, and health assessment techniques — complete with virtual reality technology for practicing clinical scenarios in virtual reality. ![students examining a petri dish in the microbiology lab](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/idfive_image_gallery/public/2026-05/microbiology.jpg?h=b9af0d62&itok=Wb9UO-Tk) Students get hands-on in their study of human biology in our microbiology lab. ![students studying 3-D life size models of the human muscular system](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/idfive_image_gallery/public/2026-05/anatomy.jpg?h=b9af0d62&itok=cZmHrc1e) Life sized models of the human body in our anatomy lab aid help our students grow in their knowledge of the body's systems and functions. ![nursing student wearing virtual reality goggles](/sites/nursing.catholic.edu/files/styles/idfive_image_gallery/public/2026-05/VR%20suite.JPG?h=23db3fc8&itok=R28XFC_v) Students use simulation technology to practice lifelike clinical skills in a supportive learning environment.
