This article describes a collaboratively developed plan for a regional patient simulation laboratory for nursing education. The Western North Carolina Regional Simulation Laboratory will be located at the Enka Campus of the Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College at the Department of Nursing of Western Carolina University (Candler, NC). A proactive collaborative consortium has been established to help meet the demand for nursing education in the 13 most rural mountain counties of western North Carolina. Through a 2-year process with regional networking, the nursing administration of Western Carolina University, Mission Hospitals, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, and affiliated community colleges, consortium hospitals, and emergency care services developed a vision and a proposal for an innovative program for the nursing education of the future. The consortium proposed the establishment of a 3-year integrated educational program utilizing state-of-the-art simulation manikin technology. Financial resources were obtained from a charitable grant from The Duke Endowment (Charlotte, NC). Sustainability of funding will be ensured through university, hospital, and community college collaboration.
本文介绍了一个为护理教育而合作开发的区域患者模拟实验室计划。西卡罗来纳州区域模拟实验室将位于阿什维尔-本康布技术社区学院恩卡校区的西卡罗来纳大学护理系（北卡罗来纳州坎德勒）。已成立一个积极的合作联盟，以帮助满足北卡罗来纳州西部13个最偏远山区县对护理教育的需求。通过为期两年的区域联网过程，西卡罗来纳大学护理管理部门、使命医院、阿什维尔-本康布技术社区学院以及附属社区学院、联盟医院和急救服务机构，为未来的护理教育制定了一个创新计划的愿景和提案。该联盟提议利用最先进的模拟人体模型技术建立一个为期三年的综合教育计划。资金来源于杜克捐赠基金（北卡罗来纳州夏洛特）的慈善拨款。将通过大学、医院和社区学院的合作确保资金的可持续性。
