This $915,000 Project Grant awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention (NEPQR) - Workforce Expansion Program will support Central Georgia Technical College's (CGTC) efforts to increase the number of nursing students enrolled, retained, and graduated from its Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program.
The grant will fund the expansion of CGTC's specialized "GA-STACCS" training program, which will provide 80 hours of additional instruction in acute and long-term care settings for at least 75 ASN students annually. This specialized training, which includes simulation lab experience and service learning, aims to increase the number of undergraduate nurses employed in targeted acute and long-term care settings post-graduation. The grant will also support CGTC's efforts to recruit and retain additional nursing faculty and clinical preceptors to enhance the college's capacity to train future nurses.
