Next year will see a cutting edge nursing program open at Anderson University in northwest South Carolina and the school's leaders couldn't be more enthused, the Independent Mail reports.
Pamela Binns-Turner has been tapped to be dean of the school of nursing and she said the facilities will be equipped with dummies for students to work on as well as a cadaver lab. A gymnasium is being crafted into a nursing school and its two stories will hold lecture halls, classrooms and labs with hospital beds.
"For a student to be able to come into a lab and have us set up a scenario for everything from a car crash, to the explosion of a crack house to a heart attack and then be able to review their response with their instructor is an invaluable tool in helping to develop critical thinking skills," Binns-Turner told the publication.
The school will offer two bachelor programs to help its students acquire nursing jobs, she said.
The development of the school is on schedule, according to an Anderson University press release. Demolition will give way to site preparation, which will be followed by construction.
