Henry L. Guenther Foundation award to CGN will support Emergency Nurse Practitioner simulation equipment

In August 2021, Western University of Health Sciences’ College of Graduate Nursing (CGN) received a $97,000 grant award from the Henry L. Guenther Foundation to purchase procedural training equipment for the College of Graduate Nursing Simulation Center. High fidelity simulation equipment is essential for training graduate nursing students for practice in urgent care (UC) and emergency department (ED) settings. The expanded training capabilities made possible by these simulation models enable students from other WesternU colleges to learn and practice these unique skills within an interprofessional framework.

“The WesternU College of Graduate Nursing has built a solid reputation of educating outstanding and compassionate advanced practice nurses and nurse leaders – a success we credit to our students, faculty, and community partners, such as the Henry L. Guenther Foundation,” said Donna M. Emanuele, DNP, RN, FNP-BC, ENP-C, CNS, FAANP, Director, Doctor of Nursing Practice Program and ENP Post Graduate Certificate and Associate Professor of Nursing.
