Tysons Corner, Virginia, Nursing Program: a Hands-On BSN

At Chamberlain’s nursing program in Tysons Corner, VA, you get hands-on training in our on-site clinical setting and in our unique SIMCARE CENTER™. As you work with classmates, faculty, mentors, and veteran registered nurses, you learn vital skills in direct patient-care nursing. The SIMCARE CENTER™ features various aspects of simulated care, and the center’s high-tech patient manikins help you develop diagnostic nursing expertise. Patient simulators have bodily functions and show vital signs, and they demonstrate a wide range of symptoms. The SIMCARE CENTER™ gives you a safe health care setting where you can practice your nursing abilities before moving on to actual human patients in the clinicals portion of the Chamberlain Tysons Corner curriculum.
