Oakwood University News Oakwood Woman's Gift Bigger Than She Believed The Oakwood University Department of Nursing has truly been blessed! Out of all the nursing schools across the nation that applied for the grant 'Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals: Nursing Workforce Diversity,' the Department of Health and Human Services Resources and Service Administration chose Oakwood's Nursing Department. They have been awarded a grant of $275,150! Drs. Carol Allen and Arlene Johnson in the Department of Nursing applied for the grant in hopes of enhancing nurses' education at Oakwood by purchasing clinical simulation equipment. The funds will now be used to purchase four new patient simulators, learning modules, intravenous administration simulators, and computer evaluation equipment. The Department of Nursing and the Office of Sponsored Programs will be notified regarding availability of funds by the Health Resources and Service Administration Grants Management office before the end of this semester.
