Ocala, Fla. (December 1, 2015)–Rasmussen College, a regionally accredited private college and Public Benefit Corporation, today announced it will open a new state-of-the-art School of Nursing facility in Ocala in summer 2016. The new nursing campus, located at 1227 Southwest 17th Ave., in the former Ocala Entertainment Complex building, will include classrooms, computer labs, large student learning spaces and updated simulation equipment, such as real-life manikins and nursing beds. Construction on the multimillion dollar, 21,000-square-foot facility is expected to begin later this month.
“We are extremely excited to bring this state-of-the-art nursing education facility to Ocala and its surrounding communities – areas seeing an increased demand for quality nurses as the population ages and the healthcare industry continues to evolve,” said Dr. Joan Rich, vice president of the School of Nursing at Rasmussen College. “Rasmussen College is committed to providing an enhanced learning experience for our students – one that trains students for complex medical environments they will be called to work in.
