Truett McConnell University has received a $100,000 grant from the Georgia Baptist Health Care Ministry for use in establishing a "virtual hospital" at the school.
The money will be used to purchase equipment for The Martha Rielin and Elizabeth Salmen School of Nursing Virtual Hospital Project.
“The Virtual Hospital Project for The Martha Rielin and Elizabeth Salmen School of Nursing will purchase an array of cutting-edge patient care equipment," explained TMU's Director of Financial Development Gary Jarnagin, "to enhance, supplement, and expand the training capabilities and learning experience for all student-nurses."
Jarnagin explained how this project will enable student-nurses to "learn from scripts, written by expert practitioners in various fields, to affirm the accuracy of nursing care and promote a better learning experience, in a safe environment.”
The GBHCMF invested over $4 million this year alone, in community organizations that provide or strengthen health care.
Emir Caner, President of TMU, said “We thank the GBHCMF for believing in us and our mission. I cannot be more thrilled to see this money come at such a crucial time to take our nursing facilities to the next level.”
