program
-
to

Talent pipeline for regional healthcare hub
There are also new faces on the nursing faculty, including new professor and chair of nursing Yvonne M. Smith, Ph.D., APRN-CNS. Smith notes that the four-year BSN degree fits both the interest of students and the needs of Northeast Ohio.
"We are excited to build on BW's successful post-baccalaureate BSN with this new four-year program," said Smith. "In four short years, we'll have more accomplished BW nursing graduates filling demand in the talent pipeline for the region's thriving healthcare sector."
The program will feature off-site clinical rotations at the area's outstanding hospitals and medical facilities starting in year two, in addition to class and learning laboratory experiences at 201 Front.
Tech-enhanced learning spaces
The
renovated
25,000-square-foot
building
features
tech-enhanced
classrooms
and
spacious
clinical
labs
where
students
will
practice
simulated
patient
care.
BW has also acquired cutting-edge HoloLens augmented reality technology that provides realistic simulations of human anatomy and is used in top medical schools.
The building includes modern and comfortable lounge, study, conference and briefing room spaces.
The interior was reimagined by The Collaborative, the same architectural firm behind BW's AIA design award-winning Austin E. Knowlton Center for computer science, engineering, math and physics, which opened in January on BW's North Quad.
