New Nursing Technology Enhances Student Success at VSU photo 2 of 3

Valdosta State University’s College of Nursing and Health Sciences recently purchased 11 new state-of-the-art, high-fidelity manikins — three Nursing Annes (scenario-based training simulators), two SimMan Essentials (core skills simulators), a SimMom (full birthing simulator), a SimNewB (newborn simulator), and four SimJuniors (pediatric simulators) — with funding from a Georgia Board of Health Care Workforce Nursing School Grant. The new manikins represent all ages, genders, and skin tones and mimic human anatomy and physiology.
