鈥淎ll are graduate programs, preparing students for rewarding and in-demand careers in healthcare,鈥� said School of Health Sciences Dean Nicoleta Bugnariu. 鈥淭he school is a leader in interprofessional education, preparing students to learn with and from each other, and work effectively in teams for the benefit of patients.鈥� 听

The innovative, two-year nursing program prepares bachelor鈥檚 degree students鈥攚ith or without a background in health care鈥攖o earn a master鈥檚 in nursing and a public health certificate.

The nursing suites, located on the second floor of the campus library, include: a skills laboratory, simulation laboratory, two large state-of-the-art classrooms, a conference/debriefing room and office space.

The simulation lab will have three high-fidelity听mannikins that will allow students to work through different scenarios.

鈥淲hen you鈥檙e in a clinic, you鈥檙e at the mercy of whatever patients are in the hospital at the time. Here we can guarantee, 鈥榶ou're going to get a fresh myocardial infarction, or heart attack, you're going to get someone with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, you're going to get a child with asthma,鈥� explained Holly Evans Madison, chair of the nursing program. 鈥淚t's going to be a great learning opportunity for our students to have that kind of experience.鈥�
