Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a new law she says will strengthen the state's health care workforce.
She says it will allow nursing students to do up to a third of their clinical training through simulation experiences.
Hochul says expanding simulation experiences can help speed up training, which is needed because the state is facing a nursing shortage.
Right now, students have to wait for limited placements in a hospital to finish their training.
State Sen. Toby Ann Stavisky says this legislation means New York will join 31 states in allowing more simulation training.
