Brand new nursing building

Emporia State University is building a brand new, 32,000-square-foot Nursing + Student Wellness Center in the heart of campus that will help students gain the skills needed for a successful career. The state-of-the art building will house classrooms, an 11-bed skills lab and patient simulators. It will also house simulation rooms: three medical-surgical (one set up as an emergency department), one LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery, postpartum) and one pediatric.
