According to a recent article published in the Tampa Bay Business Journal, the University of South Florida College of Nursing is presently only one of two colleges within the United States to receive a $1.3 million federal grant, which will be used to train nursing faculty throughout the state in the use of simulation learning, informatics and telehealth.

No doubt, college administrators, staff and students are excited about being awarded the training grant, as it will allow the university to forge ahead in new and exciting areas of study that will only seek to improve USF’s nursing program.

The federal grant was issued by the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration. And according to the news article, using part of the program funded through the grant, USF will:

…study how the use of emerging technologies can supplement nursing students’ clinical experiences, reduce the pressure on over-stressed hospitals that serve as settings for hands-on learning, and create nurses better prepared to enter today’s high-tech health care field. [source]
