Tampa General Hospital, USF team up to add nurses to workforce

Tampa General Hospital and the University of South Florida have joined forces to create a new nursing simulation lab at the USF Health College of Nursing to offer advanced training for nurses as they prepare to join the health care workforce.

The hospital says is investing $4.4 million through six years to support the planning, construction and implementation of the new lab, which will be named the Tampa General Hospital USF Health College of Nursing Simulation Lab.

Rhea Law, USF president, says the "generous support from TGH will further strengthen our USF Health College of Nursing as we prepare nurses for successful careers and help fill an important workforce need in our communities."
