Welcome to St. Jude College

As St. Jude College celebrates its 41^st Foundation Day on October 28, 2009 with the theme “Building Tomorrow, Today!”, the College proudly introduces its state-of-the-art facilities in its Schools of Nursing and Hotel and Restaurant Management.

Inside the Nursing School’s Virtual Hospital - Theater 1 is Stan D. Ardman, St. Jude’s Emergency Care Simulator (ECS). Stan is a high fidelity 5th generation simulator capable of interacting with nursing students in real time with a combination of over 70,000 physiological responses. Through Stan, students learn communication, critical thinking, decision making and leadership, skills often difficult to observe, let alone teach, in a classroom setting, or when using traditional mannequins. They will feel the adrenalin and emotions of a “CODE” and experience the “real thing” without danger to real patients.

Within Theater 2 is Noelle, a 5th generation Maternal and Neonatal Birthing Simulator. Noelle is designed to provide complete birthing experience before, during, and after delivery. Using the simulator enables the nursing student to learn skills on basic and advanced obstetrics scenarios without posing a danger to mother or baby. Noelle can be programmed to deliver in crises such as the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby, breech birth, placenta previa, caesarian section, breathing problems, and other complications.

Noelle provides an environment where learning and remediation can be accomplished in a safe and supportive manner. Noelle encourages educational creativity and scenario role playing, thereby helping learners develop skills and critical thinking abilities that will transition into the clinical area.

Apart from Stan and Noelle, the virtual hospital also houses several other 5^th generation simulators, together with the following new facilities: operating room, recovery room, scrub room, delivery room, holding area, intensive care unit, pediatric ward, maternity ward, amphitheaters 1 and 2, emergency room, out-patient department, orthopedic room, private room, nursery, surgical ward, medical ward and rural health unit.

The School of Nursing also has its own base hospital in St. Jude Hospital and Medical Center, is PACUCOA-accredited, and has local and international networks. Truly, St. Jude College is proud of its 41-year legacy of excellence in Nursing education.

In its hotel and restaurant simulator, the School of International Hospitality Management prides itself of the following facilities: eight cooking workstations with CCTV, cafeteria and bar, theater type demo room, mini-restaurant, tour laboratory, front desk, bistro, fully furnished hotel room, baking room and equipment, bistro bar, and a large, high-ceiling ballroom/ conference area able to seat over a thousand people.

Yet the School is not just about modern facilities, for it also has industry practitioner faculty, chef instructors, state-of-the-art licensed computer software used by the large hotels, and on-the-job internship with well-known Metro Manila hotels and restaurants, on-board training in seagoing passenger ships, and international internship in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, and Australia.

Equally impressive is the board performance of St. Jude College’s School of Radiologic Technology. Over the past 16 years (1994-2009), this school has graduated 66 board placers, an average of over 4 board placers a year. The College continues to pursue excellence in its other schools, namely Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Pharmacy, Business Administration, Information Technology, Computer Science, Entrepreneurship, Education, and Psychology.

Having provided quality education founded on Christian values for over 40 years, St. Jude College looks forward to a brighter tomorrow by pursuing its mission with a passion and living out its Christian values with enthusiasm and zeal.
