I am writing to you regarding Felician College, a North Jersey-based Catholic/Franciscan/Felician college serving students from all 21 of New Jersey's counties.

Felician College, with campuses in Lodi and Rutherford, currently serves more than 2,300 enrolled students. It offers undergraduate and masters degree programs in four academic divisions: Arts & Sciences, Business & Management Services, Nursing & Health Management and Teacher Education.

Felician College is at the forefront of educating and training graduates who become the backbone of our economy, our healthcare system and our educational system; they are the bankers, managers, entrepreneurs, educators, and health care professionals who keep our communities vibrant and become the cornerstone of New Jersey’s economy. In fact, 95% of Felician College’s students are New Jersey residents who will stay in New Jersey after graduation to live, work and raise their families.

The Nursing Hospital Simulation Center is in need of expansion, improvements and infrastructure upgrades in order to keep up with growing demand and ever-evolving technology. The Center trains nurses and allows them to learn in a hospital-like environment which mirrors the real-world settings in which they’ll soon find themselves.

In order to upgrade and improve the Center, Felician is seeking a Nurse Education, Practice and Retention Grant of $830,000 through the Health Resources and Services Administration. Felician’s Nursing Hospital Simulation Center has a large, state-of-the-art simulated hospital clinical setting and computer room where advanced software and interactive video programs are used to intensify the learning experience. The Nursing Hospital Simulation Center staff assists students with clinical competencies through the use of “SimMan,” a technological patient simulator that can be programmed to exhibit any medical condition imaginable displaying all the signs and symptoms of that condition. Nurses who are better prepared for myriad of scenarios they will be faced with during their careers will make more informed healthcare decisions and ensure a higher level of service and safe patient care immediately upon graduation.

I hope I can count on your support during this crucial time for Felician College, for New Jersey and for our nation. To shape New Jersey’s future leaders, Felician College needs the support of New Jersey’s current leaders. The outcome of these efforts will have a direct impact on Felician College students today and for generations to come.
