High-Tech Facilities
Be prepared to work in real healthcare environments
The nursing program is housed in JBU's Health and Technology Center. The 21,000-square-foot facility built in 2016 and expanded in 2026 includes three classrooms, clinic teaching space with four exam rooms, four simulation patient rooms, two health assessment labs, a computer lab, offices, and study lounges.
In the simulation patient rooms, students will use four High Fidelity Simulators, computer-operated interactive mannequins that can blink, bleed, drool, cry, dilate their pupils, generate heart and lung rhythms and sounds, mimic breathing, and more. With these simulators, students can learn to take the pulse of the mannequin, as well as perform procedures such as urinary catheter insertions, childbirth, and defibrillation. With two adult simulators, one pediatric simulator, and one mother-newborn simulator, JBU students will be able to respond to real-life medical scenarios artificially simulated in a safe learning environment.
Kinesiology students use the physical therapy room in the Walton Lifetime Health Complex to practice stretching and rehabilitating mock patients.
