The Graham Hospital School of Nursing Technology Committee was formed in January of 2005 to meet the growing need for electronic services to support the curriculum and to assist faculty, students and staff. In 2006, it was approved by the Faculty Organization as a standing committee.
Graham Hospital School of Nursing supports the curriculum with the latest technology for use by faculty, staff and students. There is a 15 workstation computer lab available 24/7 for students. The lab is staffed to help students with technology needs from 7:00am-3:30pm Monday- Fridays. The School also has 82 laptops for use in classrooms and other on-campus locations that have a variety of curriculum based software, access to the hospital network, as well as high-speed Internet access. Many of the GHSON classes utilize simulation technology as described here: Graham Hospital School of Nursing – Simulation. The School utilizes social media such as Facebook, to promote professional networking opportunities and updates for students.
