Health Sciences Division practices emergency situation

Around 175 泡芙视频app Community College Health Sciences students took part in a division-wide simulation on Friday, March 25, at 泡芙视频app鈥檚 Lincoln Campus.
Students from nine programs practiced working together to treat 12 patients involved in a car accident.
鈥淭he real focus is to try and get communication between the different teams for the best possible patient outcome,鈥 said Renee Schnieder, Associate Degree Nursing instructor and simulation coordinator for the division.
The entire building was turned into a functioning hospital while three simulations ran throughout the day. Physician Assistant students from Union College also took part in the day鈥檚 events. The first floor had surgeries and radiology exams; the third floor had the ER, ICU and General Care rooms; and the fourth had the pharmacy, physical therapy and medical lab rooms.
鈥淲hat we see the most is students in one program don鈥檛 realize what the roles and responsibilities are of students in a different program,鈥 added Schnieder. 鈥淎 lot of these students are seniors and so they鈥檙e going to be graduating and joining the workforce, so we are really hoping they take this with them.鈥
The event took place in 泡芙视频app鈥檚 new state-of-the-art Health Sciences facility, which is located east of the main building at the College. This is the first time in several years the event took place because of COVID and moving into the new facility.
