Solving the Nursing Shortage Starts Here. You Can Be Part of It.
The nursing profession faces a critical shortage of both skilled nurses and training opportunities, even as demand for practice-ready nurse leaders continues to grow.
The College of Graduate Nursing excels at educating, preparing and equipping graduate students to address the diverse health care needs by integrating simulation into the core curriculum, and improve student outcomes. The Center for Nursing Simulation is a state-of-the-art educational facility that is dedicated to enhancing nursing education through advanced simulation techniques.
Equipped with high-fidelity mannequins, realistic clinical environments, and innovative technology, the center provides a safe and controlled setting for students to develop and refine their clinical skills. Through immersive, hands-on experiences, students can practice critical thinking, decisionmaking and patient care in a variety of scenarios from routine procedures to complex emergencies. The purpose of the simulation center is to enhance classroom learning with real-world practice, ensuring nursing graduates are prepared to deliver the highest quality patient care and outcomes.
