# Fun Facts About Nursing School

[Becoming a Registered Nurse](https://arizonacollege.edu/blog/how-to-become-a-registered-nurse/)
requires a well-rounded education. It’s important to look for a school that
prepares its students to provide high quality, innovative, and hands-on nursing
care. Just think about it; as a Registered Nurse, you will be treating patients
and making a difference in the lives of people on a daily basis! Completing the
education required to begin a rewarding career as a Registered Nurse can be very
challenging and rigorous; however, it can also be filled with excitement and
fun! Here are some fun facts about the nursing program at Arizona College:

- **Hands-on Education Opportunities **– Arizona College nursing students have
  access to a modern nursing laboratory in a realistic hospital setting. This
  laboratory even includes high-fidelity manikins that resemble real patients!
  These manikins can be programmed to communicate verbally and display many of
  the bodily functions that a real life patient would exhibit. They have
  monitors and digital equipment, providing an advanced learning experience for
  students. You may even have a role play conversation with your manikin
  patient, all while developing your nursing skills.
- **Clinical Experiences in a Variety of Settings **– Nursing students gain the
  opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in a wide range of medical
  environments. This is a wonderful chance to experience different specialties
  and work side by side with physicians, nurses, and other healthcare
  professionals.  Students have clinical experiences in settings such as Family
  Practice, Long-term Care Facilities, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hospitals, as
  well as Behavior Health and Pediatrics. Students have even witnessed multiple
  labor and deliveries while on clinical rotations!  These clinical rotations
  are an exciting way to bring your nursing skills and education into practice.
- **Community Involvement **– The Nursing program at Arizona College often
  participates in community outreach events. These events are an amazing way for
  students, staff, and faculty to bond as a team and have some fun while making
  a difference in the lives of others.
- **Fun Campus Events **– Each month, Arizona College has fun campus events that
  all programs are invited to participate in. These events are a great way to
  de-stress, meet new friends, and relax between classes.  Participating in
  these campus events is a great way to network and add some laughter to your
  day.
