Nursing students at LaRoche College near Pittsburgh will soon have two new patients on which to practice their craft.

The Buhl Foundation has given the school a $96,000 grant to buy two software-controlled mannequins.

The mannequins will be used in a mock operating room to help students learn how to administer anesthesia under differing circumstances.

The mannequins will be anatomically correct, one a man and the other a baby. They will be used by students in the school’s nurse anesthesia master’s degree program.
