An expansion of the school’s nursing simulation space will be funded by $1.5 million in bond money and an additional $1 million from the Boyne family, longtime supporters of USM’s School of Nursing. USM told WCSH that the school will build a new simulation center and interprofessional education facility, doubling the nursing simulation space over the next five years.
“This new, advanced facility will provide a major competitive advantage for USM, helping to attract high-quality students and provide innovative, interprofessional student learning experiences in state-of-the-art environments,” Brenda Petersen, PhD, MSN, RN, associate dean of the USM School of Nursing, told WCSH.
By 2025, Maine is estimated to be short 2,700 nurses, a key reason Maine voters approved a $25 million bond investment in USM in November 2018, USM told WCSH.
