It will be designed to resemble a real-life pediatric hospital unit, featuring specialized pediatric equipment, neonatal, pediatric and expectant mother mannequins, as well as augmented reality simulations. Simulation scenarios will give UCF nursing students hands-on, clinical experiences to help them provide high-quality, compassionate care for pediatric patients and their families.<\/p>\n<p>Nursing faculty members will collaborate with colleagues across UCF\u2019s healthcare disciplines on research to innovate pediatric education and improve the health of children.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are thankful for Nemours Children\u2019s continued partnership and support of pediatric nursing excellence at UCF.\u201d \u2014 Mary Lou Sole, College of Nursing dean<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe are thankful for Nemours Children\u2019s continued partnership and support of pediatric nursing excellence at UCF,\u201d says UCF College of Nursing Dean Mary Lou Sole. \u201cBy leveraging our collective strengths, together we will grow a pediatric nursing workforce of Knight nurses to care for children in our community, innovate pediatric clinical practices and positively impact children\u2019s health for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion is under construction on UCF\u2019s Academic Health Sciences Campus in Lake Nona, a hub of healthcare activity and innovation including UCF\u2019s College of Medicine and Nemours Children\u2019s Hospital, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The nursery and pediatric unit will be located within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/5-5m-gift-from-helene-fuld-health-trust-to-create-simulation-center-at-new-ucf-nursing-building\/\">Helene Fuld Health Trust STIM Center<\/a> on the second floor \u2014 a high-tech centerpiece in the new building featuring three times the current simulation space.<\/p>\n<p>Nemours Children\u2019s investment also will support the 2,100-square-foot Nemours Children\u2019s Health Learning Studio, one of three high-tech classrooms located off the Collaboration Concourse. The studio will feature an innovative active learning design to facilitate collaboration and small-group work.<\/p>\n<p>This investment expands upon Nemours Children\u2019s partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/nursing\/\">UCF\u2019s College of Nursing<\/a>. Nemours Children\u2019s already participates in UCF\u2019s College of Nursing clinicals program, providing clinical rotations for 120 UCF nursing students in 2024 to gain valuable, hands-on training at its Orlando hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Nemours Children\u2019s Health became UCF\u2019s first pediatric health-focused Pegasus Partner. Through the partnership, UCF and Nemours Children\u2019s will collaborate on opportunities and initiatives that leverage their collective healthcare and academic excellence to advance children\u2019s health \u2014 including the launch of a $2.5M Nemours Impact Fund, an interdisciplinary research collaboration agreement to advance pediatric healthcare and improve children\u2019s health outcomes at individual and population levels.<\/p>\n<p>UCF and Nemours Children\u2019s are creating a talent pipeline of skilled, pediatric healthcare providers to address the pediatric workforce shortage. Nemours Children\u2019s previously established the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/nemours-childrens-health-ucf-partner-to-elevate-the-quality-of-healthcare-for-floridas-children\/\">UCF College of Medicine \u2014 Nemours Children\u2019s Health Department of Pediatrics<\/a> to train the next generation of pediatric physicians.<\/p>\n<p>With its investment at UCF\u2019s College of Nursing, Nemours Children\u2019s is educating and training future pediatric nurses. According to the Children\u2019s Hospital Association, 35% of children\u2019s hospitals across the U.S. are facing a shortage of pediatric registered nurses. Around 85% of UCF\u2019s 16,000 Knight nurse alumni remain in Florida to live and work, growing the workforce at healthcare facilities including Nemours Children\u2019s Hospital, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>After its anticipated opening in Fall 2025, the Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion will enable UCF to graduate 50% more newly licensed nurses to address the nursing shortage as well as fuel innovation and research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The investment includes $2.5 million for a real-life pediatric nursing training unit at UCF\u2019s Dr. Phillips
