a OEE a Nursing Move Ensures Program Growth, Meeting WNC Health Care Needs Relocation of Western Carolina Universitys nursing education programs to the Haynes Center on the Enka campus of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College will help ensure a supply of well-qualified nurses to meet the growing health care needs of Western North Carolina. That was the consensus Tuesday, Feb. 17, among speakers at a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house for the Western nursing departments new headquarters. The move from cramped quarters on the siz sdsizsN. oe campus of the University of North Carolina- Asheville into 10,000 square feet Taking part in ribbon-cutting ceremonies for Western Carolina Universitys new nursing facilities at the Enka of office, classroom and laboratory space in the former BASF plant was made campus of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College are (front row, from left to right) Adelaide ; : Daniels Key, member of The University of North Carolina Board of Governors; Vanessa Sanders, president of possible by a grant of $250,800 from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust. WCUs senior nursing class; Vincent Hall, head of WCUs nursing department; WCU Chancellor John Bardo; Robert Burgin, president and chief executive officer of Mission-St. Robert Burgin, president of Mission-St. Josephs Health Care System; and K. Ray Bailey, A-B Tech president. Josephs Health System, Western North Carolinas largest health care On the back row are, left to right, state legislators Bob Carpenter, Ray Rapp, Joe Sam Queen and Bruce provider, told the nearly 100 people attending the ceremony that the hospital Goforth. currently employs about 2,000 nurses. As the population of WNC continues oS to increase - and to age - the number of nurses needed also will rise, said Burgin, a member of Westerns board of trustees. : The population of Western North Carolina is aging significantly. WC The older you are, the more you need health care, and it goes up Honors- exponentially as you age, Burgin said. We need good nurses. We dont want the ones who cant pass the boards. Thats why we recruit the nursing students from Western and A-B Tech. As an employer, having a good supply of nurses means we can continue to supply excellent health care to the people of the region. WCU Chancellor John Bardo thanked both A-B Tech and UNCA for their current and past roles in providing space in Asheville for nursing education, and called the dedication of Westerns new nursing facilities in Enka an important day in the life of Western North Carolina. Health care is at the core of the future of this region. We have an indigenous population that needs health care, and in some areas of Western North Carolina those needs are great. In a primarily rural area, we know the number of health care professionals available is limited and will remain limited unless we take action to change that, Bardo said. We know that over : the next decade, the shortage of nurses will increase not just in this state, but nationally, We know that in 10 years, 40 percent of the nurses practicing will Dr. Anna Howard shaw be 50 or older. We know that by the year 2020, we will have 400,000 fewer 1847-191 9 nurses than will be needed. The nursing shortage is not going to go away. K. Ray Bailey, a Western alumnus and president of A-B Tech, said the donation of the former BASF plant to the community college in October 2000 presented the opportunity to explore partnerships with other institutions working to enhance the region. This is a real win-win-win, Bailey said. Its a win for UNCA because they need space to grow. Its a win for Western because they needed room to expand their nursing program. And its a win for A-B Tech because it presents an opportunity for our graduates to continue their educations, whether bachelors or masters degrees in nursing, right here in Asheville. The relocation also will enable Western to meet the needs of the American Woman-Suffrage Leader Western Carolina University Senior Nursing Students region in other ways, said Vincent Hall, head of Westerns department of The road to success starts nursing. Just as there is a shortage of bedside nurses, there is an acute : shortage of nurse educators, Hall said.
