At the UW Nursing School, real-world emergencies are experienced in the safety of a classroom. Students at the University of Washington are now using life-size computerized simulators -- the latest technology trend to train students about real-world emergencies before they set foot in a hospital room. UW School of Nursing students learn how to check for leaks in chest tubes hooked up to SimMan, a computerized, simulated patient used in the school's hands-on training lab.

"While many fine universities can work on pieces of problems, the UW is one of the few places that can tackle the biggest, most complex, and most challenging problems of all time."
