Hands-On Learning Prepares Future Nurses for Success


At Seton Hall's Interprofessional Health Sciences campus in Nutley, students from the College of Nursing and School of Health and Medical Sciences train side by side in more than 20,000 square feet of state-of-the-art simulation space — practicing everything from clinical skills to patient communication in realistic, mimicked healthcare environments.
Guided by credentialed simulation experts and brought to life through standardized patients and advanced equipment, this hands-on approach is woven into the curriculum from students' very first semester to their clinical rotations — building both the clinical competence and the compassionate communication skills that career-ready clinicians need to deliver patient-centered care.
Recent investments — including a $1.14 million federal grant — continue to expand these facilities, reinforcing Seton Hall's commitment to transformative, interprofessional learning.
