The Rhode Island Nursing Education Center (RINEC) is 133,000 square feet of laboratory, classroom and office space in collaboration with the Rhode Island College Onanian School of Nursing and the University of Rhode Island College of Nursing. The RINEC, overseen by the Rhode Island Office of the Postsecondary Commissioner, serves as a Providence-based facility for baccalaureate, masters and doctoral level curriculum delivery. The Center combines leading technology with a rigorous experiential learning curriculum, placing Rhode Island at the forefront of the nation in nursing education.
The various learning spaces – classrooms, labs, simulation suites, study areas – are all shared facilities between the two institutions. This collaborative, shared approach is in support of the RINEC mission: to provide a state-of-the-art center for the education of aspiring and practicing nurses who will lead the transformation of healthcare in Rhode Island and beyond. The Rhode Island College Onanian School of Nursing Simulation Program is accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare in the areas of Teaching and Education.
During this INACSL23 pre-conference SIM Tour:
- Participants will learn how a fully functioning simulated apartment can enhance their activities. - Participants will learn how flexible spaces can expand their capacity, such as the multi-patient room (ER), and the standardized patient exams rooms. - Participants will learn how the RINEC catalyzes existing teaching and research, creates new learning opportunities, and fosters productive collaborations and partnerships. - The tour will include guides to help escort participants to the various demonstration projects within the simulation center and then participants are invited to attend a networking luncheon held within the building on the 3rd floor of the beautiful Riverview Lounge — one of the best views of the river and the city of Providence!
