Community Support for Nursing at ESU

The Emporia State University Department of Nursing extends a special thank you to the Trusler Foundation and the Loretto A. Langley Trust for their generous support in funding our 5- year-old Pediatric simulator. The simulator provides hands-on, life-like experiences for the students to practice skills and work through simulated experiences. The simulator helps students build their knowledge and practice their skills in a safe environment before working with a live pediatric patient.
