Basics of Nursing Science course is one of the most important courses taught to nursing students. The main objective of this course is to provide students with basic nursing skills that qualify them to work in public departments such as internal medicine, general surgery, specialized surgery, emergency, thoracic, burns, and others. Such a course, which is regarded as students' gateway to clinical training, cannot in any way be limited to theoretical teaching, but must be based primarily on practical training in laboratories and the creation of an environment simulating real training and practice that the student will work in. Therefore, we have always had to strive to develop this educational training environment through the development of its laboratories, especially the Basics of Nursing Science Laboratory, whether in terms of the number of laboratories or in terms of equipment. Furthermore, In light of the high demand for the Faculty of Nursing and the significant increase in the number of students, as the faculty receives approximately three hundred students annually, it was necessary to work diligently to increase the number of laboratories so that we can prepare students, theoretically and practically, to be able to satisfy the needs of society by having highly qualified professionals to deal with serious injury cases.

- Increasing the number of disasters societies are exposed to, such as wars and diseases, which requires students to be well-prepared.
