FranU recently held a naming reception for Woman’s Hospital to celebrate the partnership and their gift to the NICU and Birthing Suite in St. Francis Hall’s Simulated Environment Teaching Hospital. The NICU provides critical care for infants born prematurely or with life-threatening conditions, while the birthing suite has the world’s most lifelike childbirth simulator, Victoria. From early pregnancy complications, high-risk deliveries, and postpartum emergencies to non-gravid scenarios for general nursing care, Victoria simulates a full range of obstetrical events to facilitate teamwork and deepen critical thinking skills in learners of all levels. franu.edu
