CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia’s Fairmont State University School of Nursing can buy a new pediatric patient simulator after receiving $100,000 in donations.
The new simulator manikin will give nursing students essential hands-on experience that isn’t always guaranteed in clinical settings, the college said in a press release issued Thursday. The school’s current simulator is about a decade old, Associate Dean Laura Clayton said.
The money comes from a $50,000 grant from the Maier Foundation, a $25,000 grant from the Carl DelSignore Foundation and another $25,000 from an anonymous donor.
