Thank you for partnering with NIMAA to support our students during their hands-on Skills Lab sessions. This guide outlines the skills students will practice, the equipment needed, and the scenarios instructors will use during the session.
Students are expected to
arrive prepared and have completed all required pre-lab assignments. Your
support helps create a safe, organized, and successful learning environment.
Site facilitators will provide a demonstration of site-specific equipment and policies. The demonstration may be done by the site facilitator or a qualified employee at your site. The instructor will add to the demonstration general information the students need to become proficient in the skills. This collaboration allows students to practice core skills under the instructor's guidance before demonstrating them.
Student Preparation: Before attending this session, students must complete all skills without a ✱ in SimTutor and documented in the assignment tab of their Core Skills course.
After reviewing the Supplies and Equipment List, please contact your instructor to confirm you can provide all items needed for students to practice and demonstrate each skill. If you cannot provide any items on the list, please let the instructor know immediately so they can make accommodations.

Mock Certification Exam |
A room to take the mock certification exam. This room should include the following: · Individual space for the students to sit at tables or desks. · Access to outlets for their laptops. · Free of distractions with people passing through and other sounds. · A welcoming and supportive environment. Site Facilitators are encouraged to offer students words of encouragement and support throughout the session. Students greatly value the support they receive from the clinic, and a few positive words can go a long way in helping them feel confident, supported, and motivated as they prepare for their certification exam. |
