Nursing students at the University of Louisville received a special gift this week. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration presented the School of Nursing with a $792,000 grant to expand their nursing informatics program. The money will help to expand the nursing simulation lab, adding a patient simulator, advanced software, and an electronic health record simulator. The lab will also include a technology specialist to oversee the implementation of critical nursing technologies, that today's nursing students need to utilize.
