I work in the education dept at a small community hospital. Our dept realizes the need for simulation equipment but can't get the funds approved to even purchase one adult simulator.  In addition to the simulator, we would need to have secure funding for construction of facilities to teach in.  Does anyone know of any grants that would be available for this type of issue?

Our hospital teamed up with the local University and Community college to focus on "recruitment". We were able to get a grant from the Workforce Development (from the state). Do you have any nursing schools to collaborate with?

 We were able to receive a Community-Based Job Training Grant from the Dept of Labor. The key is to develop partnerships with any and everyone that has an interest in quality healthcare. NLN has a link for funding on their SIRC website. http://sirc.nln.org/

Good Luck,
