Avera Health Builds Future Nurses | Pierre News

Avera Health is revolutionizing nursing education by teaming up with Northern State University and Lake Area Technical College to build high-tech simulation labs that mimic real-life patient emergencies — think flight simulators, but for healthcare. These immersive, tech-packed environments let students practice critical skills safely, while also offering training for current professionals and sparking interest in high schoolers. With advanced manikins that breathe, bleed, and monitor vital signs, the labs go far beyond textbooks — preparing nurses for real-world demands. This investment, including Northern State’s new LPN-to-BSN pathway, strengthens the regional healthcare workforce and ensures graduates are ready to serve their communities.
