Gift Supports Nursing Students’ Training
A generous, anonymous gift to the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing contributed to the renovation of the Advanced Nursing Simulation and Clinical Learning Laboratory at Florida Atlantic University’s Davie campus. This innovative facility is training the next generation of nurses in South Florida, helping to address the nursing shortage in the state.
The simulation lab is designed to function as a working hospital floor or outpatient clinic and incorporates high fidelity mannequin simulators, which can be programmed to replicate a range of human physiological conditions to monitor breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, disease, labor and delivery, and more. Each simulation room is controlled by a computer that regulates and records the student’s response to a situation for instructor feedback.
The College of Nursing enrolls nearly 1,000 students in four nursing degree programs on its Boca Raton, Davie, and Harbor Branch campuses. It has more than 9,000 alumni, of which approximately 85% reside in Florida, providing vital health care services in the region.
