Wake Tech is planning a significant expansion of its Perry Health Sciences Campus to better meet the growing health care needs of the community. Dr. Scott Ralls welcomes Dr. Angela Ballentine, Wake Tech Health Sciences Provost and Chief Campus Officer, Perry Health Sciences Campus, marking National Health Education Week.
Wake Tech's health sciences programs serve nearly 6,000 students annually. The Martha Mann School of Nursing is the largest Associate Degree Nursing program in the state, with more than 300 students enrolled every year. Many nursing graduates have multiple job offers when they graduate, and many are employed before they graduate. According to the University of North Carolina, the demand for registered nurses in North Carolina hospitals could exceed supply by nearly 10,000 in the next 10 years, and the Triangle will be among the regions with the greatest shortage.
Wake Tech plans to build a 120,000-square-foot facility that will allow for the expansion of the college's high-demand nursing and other health sciences programs and make it possible to add programs in mental health, respiratory therapy, disability support and other areas. Wake County's population is growing by 62 residents per day.
Plans for the Perry Health Sciences Campus facility feature a "simulation hospital" that will include human patient simulation, virtual reality, task trainers and computerized simulation. It will be equipped with a nurses' station, hospital rooms, control rooms and debriefing rooms. It will also house state-of-the-art labs for imaging programs, including Medical Sonography, Radiography, CT, MRI and Mammography.
