New home in Central Hall supports innovative curriculum
By Pete Fairbairn
The Bowling Green State University School of Nursing has moved into Central Hall on the BGSU main campus. The new facility features a state-of-the-art simulation center and a skills lab located on the second and third floors of the former Business Administration Annex, which just underwent a $3 million renovation.
The new home of the School of Nursing has been designed to facilitate an innovative curriculum that aligns with the latest advancements in health care. Nursing students learn basic psychomotor skills associated with the care of individuals across the lifespan. Development of clinical judgment skills continues in the skills laboratory as students apply evidence-based practice and the nursing process to concepts of physiological integrity, including safety, oxygenation, perfusion, nutrition, elimination, mobility, integument, sensory, and infection control.
Photos show how the new space and technology are being used for hands-on experience in support of classroom instruction.
