Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola and the University of West Florida are launching a state-of-the-art, 6,000-square-foot simulation center on the hospital's campus for UWF students completing their Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees.

This announcement comes less than a year after Ascension Sacred Heart and the University of West Florida began a strategic initiative to allow 16 upper-level Bachelor of Science in Nursing students to complete the final three semesters of their clinical and classroom time on Sacred Heart Pensacola’s campus. This lab is partly funded by over $400,000 in Linking Industry to Nursing Education (LINE) funding organized by the state Legislature.

Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola  CEO Will Condon has the details.
