Nursing Program Healthcare Simulation Standards Endorsement Celebration

Central Hall, Second Floor Lobby

Only at Bowling Green: Celebrating a National First in Nursing Education Join us as we celebrate a milestone moment for the BGSU School of Nursing, the first and only program in Ohio to earn the Healthcare Simulation Standards Endorsement from the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL). This international distinction recognizes what sets Bowling Green apart: a commitment to rigorous standards in prebriefing, debriefing, facilitation and professional integrity that gives students a psychologically safe space to build real skills and real confidence before they ever step into a clinical setting. It's proof that our simulation-based education goes beyond meeting best practices - it's helping define them. Since welcoming its first cohort in 2021, the School of Nursing has built a reputation for producing graduates who are ready, with licensure pass rates well above the national average and nearly 100% employed at graduation. This endorsement, paired with a 10-year CCNE reaccreditation, affirms that Bowling Green is training nurses who enter the workforce prepared to deliver thorough, evidence-based care. Come celebrate the faculty, staff and students who made this achievement possible, and see firsthand why, when it comes to nursing education in Ohio, this recognition happens only at Bowling Green. Event Agenda: 4-4:30 p.m. - Speakers Pres. Rodney K. Rogers Dean Jim Ciesla Dr. Lisa Jacobs Nursing student 4:30-5 p.m. - Refreshments and tours Nursing simulation tour Nursing skills practice lab expansion tour Register to save your spot!
