The Rasmussen School of Nursing is finally getting the space for expansion that it has been desperately needing.
The almost 500 nursing students come from Marion, Alachua, Putnam, Lake, Sumter, Citrus and Levy counties. In addition to needing more space, the school needed more computers, skill labs and clinical simulation activities.
The former Ocala Entertainment Complex will be the new School of Nursing, and with 29,000 square feet, it will be twice as large as the current facility.
The new state-of-the-art facility will open in July and will enhance faculty and learning experiences. There have been more than 1,400 job postings for RNs over the past year, and the new Rasmussen School of Nursing will certainly help to fill those positions.
