The university announced establishment of the UT Arlington Regional Nursing Education Center on Friday after Gov. Rick Perry signed the state appropriations bill. Made possible by $5 million in state funding between now and 2011, School of Nursing Dean Elizabeth Poster said in a previous interview, that she foresees enrollment increasing by 400. “We currently have 8,000 to 12,000 qualified applicants to Texas schools of nursing annually who are not admitted because of funding and lack of faculty,” she said previously. “By doubling our already-large enrollment, we will be doing our part to lessen the nursing shortage and decrease this situation.” The money will allow for new faculty, meaning more students could make use of the Smart Hospital. The goal is to become an example and resource for the 14 other nursing schools in North Texas, Poster said. Views: 1308 | E-mail
