Room 118 is used to enhance the curriculum by integrating the nursing process with simulated patient-care scenarios. Simulation increases a student's understanding of a nurse's role, allows for improvement of communication skills, and promotes clinical reasoning.
Our center has several high fidelity mannikins. Nursing Anne, seen here, is one of the first simulators to cover every aspect of modern nursing education. She is used for many of our simulated patient scenarios. Students can take vital signs and listen to heart, lung, and bowel sounds. She also has a variety of pre-recorded sounds to add to the realism of the scenario.
Nursing Skills Lab - HSS 118

The Skills and Simulation Center within the School of Nursing is a valuable asset for student development and learning. The Center currently contains three lab rooms and two simulation rooms with attached debriefing space. Students use the center to learn nursing skills for half the semester and to participate in simulation events for the other half. Students use lab rooms, like the one you see here, to learn physical assessment and other hands-on nursing skills. This room is equipped with functioning hospital beds, stretchers, suction capability, simulated oxygen, and other equipment that students will see in a hospital setting.
Exercise Physiology Lab - Rentfrow

The biochemistry and molecular exercise physiology lab focuses on examining biomarkers in the blood to better understand the effects of acute and chronic physical activity on physiological health. The laboratory strives to advance knowledge of underlying mechanisms of sarcopenia (e.g. muscle wasting) and other catabolic conditions. Additionally, the exercise physiology lab aims to develop strategies to counteract muscle wasting under various catabolic conditions. This may include exercise programs or dietary changes. The lab is one of many in the kinesiology department that allow students to get hands on experience in research projects related to allied health.

The anatomy and physiology laboratory is used to teach course labs for both anatomy and physiology I and II. The lab comprises four convertible Anatomage tables, which are 3D virtual cadaver tables with the ability to practice dissection. The tables allow students to learn in a unique way and even test their knowledge base. The anatomy and physiology lab also houses hundreds of models used to teach every human physiology system.

The Athletic Training (AT) lab at NMSU includes anatomical models for musculoskeletal assessment, auscultation training, airway management, and emergency cardiac care manikins. Students get hands on experience with numerous therapeutic modalities including electrical stimulation, ultrasound, laser and light technologies, short wave diathermy, neurocognitive concussion assessment, and a CORS lab. The CORS lab is used for standardized patient encounters that allows both instructors and students to review their interactions for reflective practice and skill enhancement. The AT lab also includes a fully functioning athletic training room where students interact with NMSU's varsity and rodeo athletes for musculoskeletal injury assessment, rehabilitation, and documentation.

Foster Hall room 230 is a state-of-the-art laboratory classroom serving all Biology majors and many other life science students. The laboratory was renovated in 2017 to incorporate a modern fluorescence microscope, a stereo fluorescence microscope, and modern equipment for working with DNA and RNA. In particular, the microscopes allow students to perform immunofluorescence and work with fluorescent proteins. This teaching lab is used for core biology courses and the design of the room enables students to learn how to develop hypotheses, design and execute experiments, and analyze data, all of which are critical skills for their progression through their biology studies.
