We are down to the finishing touches in the new nursing center. This week we’re doing some touch-up painting, installing baseboards and putting some IT infrastructure into place. The home care lab is being painted, and furniture is being moved in! All of our computers, monitor screens, appliances and medical equipment are here and ready for staging.
We’re busy packing up books, taking down pictures and display cases, and getting ready for moving day (Feb. 7). We’re also scheduling training for faculty on the conference doors, AV equipment, nurse call, and new simulation mannequins.
Walking through the space, you can really see the community we have created. The student lounge area is spacious and inviting. The Student Nurses Association and Honor Society officers will have ample storage space; students can practice presentations on the oversized monitor screen and students will be able to reserve conference space for study groups.
Mr. Mose (our high fidelity mannequin) is also getting ready for his transport to the new facility. Professors Paige and Corso are working with Bell Ambulance to transfer Mr. Mose as part of a lab simulation with the senior nursing students. Stay tuned for more information about this.
