The Yavapai College Foundation received $24,175 in support of the Yavapai College Nursing Program. Yavapai College's Nursing Program has graduated more than 1,500 nurses since its inception in 1969. Of these, more than 85% remain in Yavapai County working at regional hospitals and medical facilities in this rural county. The funds will be utilized to acquire an infant simulation manikin and a self directed, comprehensive learning system for IV insertion for premature infants to toddler aged pediatric patients. This new technology will allow the nursing students to learn within a realistic simulation setting and enhance their preparation for caring for the community's children.
