 The
Learning Resource Center (LRC) in the College of Nursing holds extensive
computer, audiovisual and technical nursing resources and therefore provides
additional strength to our program. Here you
can avail yourself of a vast selection of audio-visual material and equipment,
updated and maintained for the exclusive use of our undergraduate and graduate nursing
students. As technology influences the field of health care, the College of
Nursing incorporates these modalities into its educational programs. In addition
to the computer lab and
multimedia resources, there is also a well-equipped
clinical lab for undergraduate and graduate
nursing students to practice new skills.
