The Sister Geraldine McDonnell Learning Resource Center (LRC/Skills Lab) is
located on the first floor of Cowell Hall. The LRC/Skills Lab is a key educational resource for nursing
students. The facility was established
to provide students with an environment in which they could practice
clinical skills with the materials and equipment representative of the
clinical setting.
The LRC hosts a number of hospital beds and essential equipment
from the acute care setting. Students both practice in the LRC and
schedule opportunities for “skill check-off.” The goal is to assist
the student in developing a level of comfort with a given skill-set
prior to their implementing that nursing intervention in the clinical
setting.
It
provides an environment in which students can practice their skills and
clinical decision making in order to enhance both their cognitive and
psychomotor acquisition. It is a comfortable place in which the learner
may achieve competency in a wide variety of both clinical knowledge and
skills.
If you have questions concerning the LRC/Skills lab, please email Dorinda Mercado, Learning Resource Center Coordinator at damercado@usfca.edu or call (415) 422-2261.
