The Murray State School of Nursing has recently formed a consortium with Murray-Calloway County Hospital and the Purchase Area Health Education Center to build a nursing simulation center to help train and recruit nurses to meet the current need across the area.
Dina Byers, dean of the School of Nursing and Health Professions, worked with Dana Todd and Tonia Mailow to secure a grant from USDA Delta Health Services.
After submitting the grant application in August, they were made aware that they had been awarded $960,000 to put toward the simulation center.
