FY2018-Annual-Report

Administration
Construction for the Objective Structured Clinical
Examination (OSCE) simulation space and a new
Student Success Center began in February of
2018 at Innovation Hall on the Virginia Science and
Technology Campus. The Student Success Center
will house staff from the Office of Student Affairs
and provide dedicated study and meeting spaces
for students. The planned expansion of the OSCE
space will provide additional space for clinical skills
testing for NP students.
The new space will add 12 patient exam rooms
and two acute care rooms, bringing the total
simulation space to nearly 20,000 square feet. The
entire OSCE space is outfitted with SimCapture,
B-line’s health care simulation management
platform that provides livestreaming, recording,
connections to real data and medical devices and
more.
Staff hires
GW Nursing has grown significantly in the past
few years, resulting in the need for expanding the
school’s staff to support a larger student body and a
restructured faculty organizational culture with two
communities. As a result, the school has brought
on a number of new people in the past fiscal year
to help scale, streamline and continually improve
the processes and procedures that keep the school
running.
