PHOENIX — Ground has been broken on a $30 million addition to the College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation at Arizona State University's downtown Phoenix campus.
The five-story building symbolizes how the college has changed in its 50-year history, Dean Bernadette Melnyk said.
In 1957, ASU started the school of nursing with three faculty members and six students. Today's nursing school has nearly 2,000 students and is the nation's largest, the dean said.
Creating a modern school of nursing is part of the state's effort to address Arizona's nursing shortage. In 2007, Arizona had only 681 registered nurses per 100,000 people, below the national average of 825, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
