The college has been conducting extensive construction to build the nursing practice environment for about two months since December last year.

The opening ceremony was attended by over 50 people, including President Choi Jae-young, Shin Gye-rim, president of the Nursing Department Alumni Association (head nurse at Yeungnam University Medical Center), local medical industry officials, and key figures within the college, celebrating the launch of the WWISE Center.

The WWISE Center consists of a total of eight simulation practice rooms?an intensive care unit, delivery room, neonatal room, single-patient room, double-patient room, pediatric room, community home-visit nursing practice room, and nursing administration office?along with three debriefing rooms and one central supply room, all reflecting the latest clinical environments.

Additionally, cutting-edge equipment such as AI-based high-function simulators, air showers, debriefing recording systems, and control rooms have been introduced to support trainees in developing expertise in environments similar to real clinical settings. In particular, focusing on simulation-based education, innovative teaching methods such as virtual practice using VR (virtual reality) technology and case-based problem-solving learning will be implemented to maximize students’ practical skills.

Baek Ju-yeon, head of the Department of Nursing, stated, “With the opening of the WWISE Center, we will strengthen organic linkage education between theory and practice and further expand practice-centered education. We will focus on enhancing integrated nursing competencies to cultivate wise and skilled global premium nursing talent.”

Meanwhile, the Department of Nursing at Yeungjin College has established itself as a cradle for nurturing nursing talent by practicing field-centered education based on over 40 years of history and tradition. Notably, it has proven its competitiveness in nursing talent cultivation by recording an average employment rate of 90.7% over the past three years. Last year, it received approval from the Ministry of Education to establish a teacher training program, further strengthening its educational capabilities for training nurses in various fields.
