Caring Society
To provide an opportunity for alumni and friends of the Irene Ransom Bradley School of Nursing to be involved in this effort, the Caring Society has been created. Ongoing financial support of the SIM Hospital will be crucial to maintain the facility and equipment, as well as meet the faculty, staff, student and program needs of the School.
Your gift of $1,000 or more to the Caring Society will be recognized within the new facility. Our hope is to raise enough funds to create an endowment; earnings from the endowment would support the School in perpetuity.

School of Nursing
THE IRENE RANSOM BRADLEY SCHOOL OF NURSING at Pittsburg State University prepares graduates to demonstrate excellence in the field of nursing to meet regulatory requirements for practice, to assume leadership roles and to engage in learning as a lifelong process.
The programs of the School of Nursing reflect the university mission of hands-on learning as the primary focus. Recognizing the unique characteristics and needs of our diverse, primarily rural setting, the School of Nursing prepares graduates to provide nursing care to individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations in a variety of settings.
In 2020, funding primarily from philanthropic gifts, for a $6 million Simulation Hospital was secured. This expansion of McPherson Hall is vital to the educational experience of nursing students. The SIM Hospital will provide hands-on experiences through state-of-the-art simulation equipment and technology, as well as allow the school to grow in enrollment and meet the continuous demands of the healthcare workforce.
