Hidden behind the red brick exterior of a building in UW-Milwaukee\u2019s Northwest Quadrant, a professional-grade nursing facility designed with clean lines and pale Panther gold paint is where the next generation of health care professionals will learn.<\/p>\n
Starting in Fall 2022, nursing students at UW-Milwaukee, 51ÁÔÆæ at Waukesha and UW-Parkside<\/a> will gain hands-on work experience at the 51ÁÔÆæ James and Yvonne Ziemer Clinical Simulation Center.<\/a> The facility has 23 hospital beds allowing students the ability to practice with manikins to simulate medical procedures such as childbirth. Graduate students will use space in the Simulation Center for physical assessment and other advanced practice experiences.<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to make sure the simulation space actually matched what professional health care facilities look like,\u201d said Jessica Rotier, clinical assistant professor and director of nursing simulations. \u201cI reached out to everyone I know at different hospitals and asked, \u2018What do you have so that we can make sure what we\u2019re doing looks similar to real life?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
