The MEPN program, which moved to Gilbert from the Phoenix Bioscience Core, occupies an entire floor, giving the college more classroom space overlooking the downtown Heritage District. This space houses two accelerated nursing programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled the MEPN program has the opportunity to join the Gilbert campus and our University of Arizona BSN-IH students and colleagues,\u201d said Kelley Miller Wilson, DNP, MSN, CMSRN<\/strong>, director of the MEPN program. \u201cThe classroom and experiential learning capabilities are exceptional and provide students with an outstanding, well-rounded nursing education.\u201d<\/p>\n The University Building is equipped with an eight-bed skills lab and a nursing simulation suite designed to replicate a hospital patient-care setting, which was a major factor in the College of Nursing\u2019s decision to expand in Gilbert. The College of Nursing invested more than $300,000 to update the third floor of the University Building with speaker systems, technical infrastructure and state-of-the-art simulation equipment.<\/p>\n The MEPN program retrains students with university degrees in other fields to become nurses, while simultaneously earning a master\u2019s degree with the goal of becoming registered nurses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":802,"parent":0,"template":"","college":[7],"uahs_theme":[],"class_list":["post-799","story","type-story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","college-college-of-nursing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
