Nursing in the Lincoln area got a shot in the arm Friday thanks to the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. <\/p>\n

The regents made a new building for the UNMC College of Nursing Lincoln Division a priority project in their proposed 2011-2013 biennial capital construction budget, which means the school eventually could increase its annual admittance of new students by more than 60. <\/p>\n

\nThe University of Nebraska Board of Regents on Friday included a new building for the College of Nursing’s Lincoln division among its 2011-2013 priority construction projects.<\/span>
\n<\/TD>
\n<\/TR>
\n<\/TABLE>The budget request will be submitted to the governor on Sept. 15. The estimated cost of the new building — which, if approved, will be just north of the UNMC College of Dentistry — is $16.3 million. <\/p>\n

“We’re delighted the Board of Regents approved this investment in improving the health of Nebraska through world-class nursing education,” said UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D. “It will make a lasting, positive impact on Nebraska.” <\/p>\n

If approved, the new facility will help the college:
\n

  • Educate more nurses with bachelor’s degrees;
    \n
  • Meet increasing student demand; and
    \n
  • Reduce the nursing shortage in Nebraska.<\/UL><\/p>\n

    It also will help attract and prepare more nurses with master’s and doctoral degrees in specialty areas, as well as for leadership and faculty positions. <\/p>\n

    Currently, the Lincoln Division can only admit about 80 new students each year, which is only about half of the qualified applicants who apply.<\/p>\n

    With the new building, 64 more qualified student applicants — 40 in the bachelor’s program, 16 in the master’s program and eight in the doctoral program — will be admitted. Seven faculty and six researchers also will be added.<\/p>\n

    The multi-story structure would increase educational space by about 80 percent over the current facility. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
