Initiative Title	Upgrade On-Campus Multi-sensory Labs
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2008-2009
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Equipment broken and out dated. Currently using crank style beds and nursing home style beds. These beds do not provide students with realistic acute care hospital experiences. Hospital bedside equipment broken. Additionally, in the Fall 2008 we participated in a Research Study sponsored by the National League for Nursing. That study measured student satisfation with the nursing department. Four areas were studied. They were: nursing Curriculum, Nursing faculty, Social interaction and Environment. A major area of concern as indicated by the students was sufficient and up to date equipment in the nursing lab. The three areas identified as being 'least satisfied with' were all in athe category of Equipment. They were 1) Equipment out of date; 2) equipment not in good repair; 3) Insufficient equipment available.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	The above notes indicate that a major area of dissatisfaction for students in our program is availability of equipment to prepare them for clinical practice. We will be unable to provide students with on campus experiences that will prepare them for employment.

Prioritization Notes

Level 4

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

The nursing program of SUNY Orange is renowned in the community for its academic rigor and excellent nursing graduates. The multisensory lab’s purpose is to prepare the students in the practical application of nursing for practice in the hospital setting. The problem is that they are practicing on outdated equipment and unrealistic models. This means that they are actually learning skills in the hospital without the benefit of lab practice. This results in the students’ poor performance, difficulty in maintaining a good academic standing, and ultimately in a poor presentation of the nursing program to the community. This is the second time this initiative is being presented to the cabinet. It will help meet Strategic Priority I.- “aligning programs and services with student and community needs” “at the highest level of quality possible”, and Strategic Priority V- “provide a clear, consistent, and compelling presentation of the college”. It meets the college goal 1.6-“To assess classroom support and technology needs on a departmental basis and implement the necessary classroom upgrades in a coordinated manner.”
