Rush University College of Nursing Opens Health Clinic for Young Women
 |
The College of Nursing at Rush University has opened a school-based health center at the Chicago Public Schools’ Simpson Academy for Young Women, a school for pregnant women and young mothers. |
Funded in part by support from the Golden Lamp Society — the premier giving society dedicated to Rush University College of Nursing — and foundations including Polk Bros. Foundation and VNA Foundation, this is the College of Nursing's third Chicago school-based health center.
Now Open, Rush's New Tower Will Enhance Education
|
The Rush Transformation isn’t only improving the patient experience—it’s enhancing the learning environment for Rush University students as well. By transforming the Medical Center’s facilities and systems to center around providing the best possible care for our patients, Rush is also transforming its teaching environment to offer the best clinical education for our students. |

Rush’s emphasis on clinical, hands-on experience is evident in the new hospital’s patient care units, where nurses' work stations are in clear view of patient rooms and provide a spacious area for students to confer with practitioner-teachers and other medical staff about current cases. Conference rooms are located within close proximity to the station, offering a convenient, spontaneous classroom for more in-depth discussion of a topic or procedure.
