The innovative technology helps students build real-world skills like prioritization, delegation, and decision-making aligned with the NCLEX 2026 test plan. This milestone reflects Brockport’s continued commitment to preparing practice ready nurses through immersive, high-fidelity education.
The SimVS Nurse Station is designed to replicate the complexity of real-world nursing environments by allowing students to manage care for multiple patients simultaneously. Covering up to six beds or more, the system provides centralized monitoring, realistic alarm management, and two‑way nurse call communication. This immersive approach helps students develop critical skills such as prioritization, delegation, and clinical decision‑making that are increasingly emphasized in the NCLEX 2026 test plan.
Faculty and staff at the ExCEL Center were actively engaged throughout the initial deployment, exploring how the technology supports authentic learning experiences in a controlled simulation environment. By incorporating multi‑patient scenarios, learners are exposed to the challenges of balancing competing patient needs while practicing teamwork, SBAR communication, and safe delegation.
Janie Dennis, Director of the ExCEL Center at SUNY Brockport, says the university’s focus on immersive simulation is a direct response to the “realities of today’s healthcare workforce.” According to Dennis, the specialized training at the center is designed to prepare the next generation of “practice-ready nurses” through hands-on, high-fidelity clinical scenarios.
As healthcare systems continue to evolve, early adopters like the SUNY Brockport ExCEL Center are helping shape how future nurses are trained. The integration of SimVS Nurse Station reflects Brockport’s commitment to innovation, student preparedness, and excellence in simulation-based education.
