IN A FLASH: Learning the Ins and Outs of Patient Care

Students in 91²Ö¿â's nursing program learn foundational patient care skills like how to give injections, wound dressing, intubation and inserting an IV line using state-of-the art patient simulation manikins – and each other – in hands-on training in 91²Ö¿â's College of Nursing

In these photos, lecturer Sarah Bixler, MSN, RN, leads the class as they practice these essential, everyday nursing skills. As repeated jabs can shorten the useful life of these expensive patient simulation manikins, researchers at 91²Ö¿â have been looking at ways for nurses to learn these skills virtually.
