University celebrates 25th anniversary of nursing and enrollment growth  

The year 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the MSOE School of Nursing, and the university is celebrating in a big way. Enrollment in the nursing program is higher than ever, precipitating the need for additional degree offerings and physical space.   On Feb. 24, 2020, MSOE unveiled plans for a 2,200-square-foot expansion of its Ruehlow Nursing Complex.  

“Our laboratory expansion will include a new simulation space that will be adaptable to a variety of settings including board rooms, clinic, home care and community. There also will be dedicated areas for students to practice their skills and complete performance tests,” said Dr. Carol Sabel, RN, chair of the MSOE School of Nursing. “The additional lab space will help MSOE stay true to its commitment to small class sizes and guaranteed clinical placement in the sophomore year.”
