Remodeling the department

Well, I have officially died and gone to Nursing Career Heaven! I recently started a position as the Staff Development Coordinator in a Long Term Care Facility. We are a 200 bed facility with a staff of 260 FT and about 80 PT/PRN employees. The plan that has been approved is that the area that used to house an outpatient clinic is being remodeled in the spring to become the "Education Wing". Today, the Administrator came to me and asked what I would like my classroom to look like...the furniture, the type of technology we will use, how many people I anticipate in the classroom at a time, and how to create a functional space for routine in-services, CNA training classes, community CPR training, New Employee Orientation. These classes could range in size from 3 or 4 to 40-50 people. The main classroom is large enough to hold 40-50 people at once, but where do I begin looking for types of furniture, set up, things of that nature? I have never been involved in a project of this size or nature, so any input would be greatly appreciated! We both agreed that we would like a smart board for starters. There may also be dry erase boards and a projector. I will have a separate office as well as a dedicated storage room and another mock resident room for training. After that, I am lost! Any suggestions?

you will need a large storage area that locks. Mannequins are helpful even if you don't teach CPR. You want to store outdated things for class use - such as urinary catheter kits. They can be used in CNA or even nurse competency checks and workshops. You need a sound system if the room is large. Screen or large TV and projector, computer and mouse. Preferably all wireless so the speaker can be anywhere in the room.You also need a policy on who may use the room, who is in charge of scheduling it and who cleans it. Little things mean a lot.
