PA Governor Rendell Announces Nearly $750,000 Investment in Nurse Education

Leverages $870,000 in Private Funds, Reaches 26 Counties

LANCASTER, Pa., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Residents in 26 counties interested in pursuing careers in nursing will benefit from educational opportunities funded by $1.6 million in state and private sector investments, Governor Edward G. Rendell said today.

The initiative also enables nursing programs to hire one faculty member who is dedicated to incorporating simulation technology into the curriculum, thereby providing the most productive and efficient use of simulation labs and increasing the number of students nursing programs can enroll.

The grants address nurse education and workforce retention challenges identified in a Pennsylvania Center for Health Careers report, which was p
