ASU gets grant for nursing lab
IN BRIEF
The Hickory Daily Record
Appalachian State University was awarded $500,000 in funding from the Golden LEAF Foundation for the establishment of a nursing simulation and clinical learning lab at the App State Hickory campus.
The new space will support App State's nursing program — including the Doctor of Nursing Practice program, launching this fall — and serve as a hub for interprofessional health care education, according to a news release from App State.
"Our nursing program is grateful for the Golden LEAF Foundation's generous support," Marie Huff, dean of the Beaver College of Health Sciences, said. "The modern nursing simulation space at the Hickory campus will enable App State to offer advanced clinical training opportunities and help support the region's workforce needs by graduating highly skilled nursing professionals."
The lab will serve as a controlled environment where students of the university's Doctor of Nursing Practice-Family Nurse Practitioner program, launching this fall, can develop and refine crucial clinical skills.
The space will also benefit the university's growing pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in nursing program and serve as a hub for interprofessional health care education.
Funds from Golden LEAF will be used to outfit the lab with simulation equipment and advanced clinical tools.
"By supporting these advanced training environments, we are helping to build a workforce pipeline that will give students hands-on experience that directly translates to real-world health care jobs," Golden LEAF President and CEO Scott T. Hamilton said. "The Golden LEAF Foundation is pleased to support the nursing simulation and clinical learning lab at the App State Hickory campus."
