Pre-assessment Simulation Lab Tour at Langara College
Jul. 10, 2018
We are pleased to inform you that Langara College has just launched a pre-assessment Simulation Lab Tour. The Sim Lab Tour is aimed at NCAS assessment takers about to take their Simulation Lab and Oral Assessments. The two-hour tour will give you a good idea of what to expect on assessment day. It will give you the chance to examine and use the supplies and equipment you are likely to encounter in the four unique assessment stations. And it will give you a good idea of the rules and procedures you are expected to follow on the day of your assessment. Langara charges CAD $50 per tour session, and recommends that anyone taking the tour do so about two weeks in advance of their SLA session. Please note that this is not an NCAS preparatory course. And It is not an opportunity to refresh your nursing skills. There are resources listed on the NCAS website at www.ncasbc.ca that should help you do that. The tour is NOT mandatory. Seats are limited for each tour session, so Langara recommends you secure your seat soon, To register for Langara's NCAS Simulation Lab Tour, please visit the Langara website. You will need your NCAS ID number to register. Please direct any questions to Langara's NCAS site coordinator at ncas@langara.ca. | NCAS orientation videos are now available! Jun. 27, 2018
