Instructional Supplies Statement


Supplies are located in several locations throughout the building for the convenience of the staff and faculty for Nursing as well as Health Occupations Students.

There are two closets that contain administrative/office supplies such as printer toner, paper, pens, writing pads, paper clips, etc. There is one located in the Financial Aid Compliance Assistant’s office in the Admission’s Area and one in the second floor copy room (on the right as you enter door towards classroom #1).

A CPR closet contains all the equipment/supplies needed in teaching these classes. Supplies such as ACTARS, disposable lungs, face shields, and bag masks are located in this closet (in rear of Classroom #5).

A phlebotomy/EKG supply closet (#110) is located upstairs outside of the placement office. This area stores phlebotomy arms, syringes, alcohol wipes, dressings, bandaids, EKG Machines etc.

Classroom #3 contains a large number of locked cabinetry which contains the stock supplies. Skill demonstration boxes are kept in each classroom, but re-stocked from classroom #3 cabinetry. As supplies are depleted, orders are placed by faculty who must obtain a purchase order and place the order with the Dean of Compliance who does all purchasing for the college.

Additional areas where supplies are located are: SimLab closet and graduation closet. Graduation closet houses all supplies, gowns, tams, gifts, candles, etc. needed for graduation ceremonies. SimLab contains four high fidelity Human Patient Simulators (adult, pediatric, newborn, and birthing mother). These simulators are used by Faculty and students for practice sessions for gaining clinical knowledge and skill as well as experience in critical thinking related to clinical scenarios. Also in the SimLab are laptop computers for recording nursing notes/plans. There are electronic med carts and computer carts to wheel from patient to patient in order to take notes.

ANHO also has a Computer Lab and Library/Media Center which house laptop computers for student utilization for ATI, HESI, and EVOLVE programs, Electronic Health Records, research, clinical orientation, applications for NCLEX, employment applications and resumes as well as any other activities assigned by faculty.
