最新的卡弗拨款标志着对皇冠体育的支持超过100万美元
拨款促进增长
作为护理教育领域的知名领导者，Mount Mercy大学最近宣布了一项重大护理项目投资计划，部分原因是罗伊·j·卡弗慈善信托基金（Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust）提供了20万美元的资助。
This generous award brings the Carver Charitable Trust’s lifetime support of Mount Mercy to more than $1 million and will fund enhancements to simulation and assessment labs, while enabling implementation of a telehealth delivery system.
未来的改进
Upgrades to labs will benefit both undergraduate and graduate nursing programs—including the new Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program that launched this fall. The main campus telehealth room will connect to a provider telehealth room located at Mount Mercy’s CRST International 研究生 Center, allowing DNP students the opportunity to simulate the nurse practitioner role at a distance, while undergraduate students use the telehealth assessment and diagnostic equipment to further develop their skills.
“Eighty-five percent of Mount Mercy’s nursing graduates have remained in Iowa—the majority in Eastern Iowa,” said Mary Tarbox, dean of 皇冠体育’s new Martin-Herold College of Nursing & Health. “The simulation and telehealth experiences will be essential in preparing all nursing students for urban and rural health care services.”

农村地区的护理
This is especially important, Tarbox says, because of Iowa’s shortage of nurses in rural areas. 根据亨利·j·凯泽家庭基金会的一份出版物《利用护士从业人员满足对初级保健不断增长的需求》，超过5800万美国人居住在初级保健专业人员供应低于联邦规定标准的地理区域。
“Our DNP program focuses on rural health, experiences in innovation, and entrepreneurial skills designed to address this deficit,” Tarbox says.
