PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Rhode Island College is receiving federal funding to improve training for nurses.
The roughly $280,000 in federal funds will help the school buy manikins to teach clinical skills and will also help transform classrooms at the Fogarty Life Science Building into a more realistic hospital setting.
Sen. Jack Reed, RIC President Nancy Carriuolo and Nursing School Dean Jane Williams will announce the funding on Monday.
The nursing school currently has 450 undergraduates.
Reed says the funding will help RIC produce more highly skilled
nurses at a time when the state and country are facing a nursing
shortage.
