How was SIMCARE hands-on training at Chamberlain Phoenix?

"I loved the SIMCARE Center. We were able to have hands-on experience without being terrified of a new, live patient. We treated it like the real thing, and our instructors gave us the constructive criticism we needed before we cared for human patients."
