Recently. our nursing students worked through a pediatric patient scenario in our Nursing Simulation Laboratory. Senior nursing student Haley Tulip played the role of the concerned mother.

Recently. our nursing students worked through a scenario with Nursing Simulation Lab Director Ian Murray stepping in to play the role of James Irons in our Nursing Simulation Lab. Today, a manikin version of James Irons returned later in life suffering from liver failure. 

This Afternoon, our School of Health and Natural Sciences and Career Services held a Biotech & Life Sciences Career Forum in the Antonucci Science Complex. The event began with Learn About Life Science Careers presented by Sara Nochur, and was followed with a series of Table Discussions with industry professionals, and then a networking session. 

Students work on a lab exercise in Biology and Chemistry Professor  Dr. Eric Williams' Developmental Biology class in the Antonucci Science Complex. The course examines a detailed survey of developing embryos from the fertilized egg through the various stages leading to the adult organism. 

Nursing Simulation Lab Director Ian Murray steps in to play the role of James Irons, a recovering alcoholic who may have relapsed and ended up in the hospital. James is complaining of itching from bed bugs, and seeing red squirrels in the room. 

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Dr. Sean Rollins' Medical Microbiology course performed various procedures in their lab in the Antonucci Science Complex. The course serves as an introduction to the biology of major groups of micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. Emphasis is placed on their relationship to man as agents of infectious diseases. In the laboratory principles and practices of aseptic techniques and diagnostic identification and culture of disease entities are explored.

Nursing  students learn the various forms of respiratory interventions in their Nursing Foundations Lab.; results can be monitored with the aid of real-time feedback. In this course, emphasis is placed on professionalism, caring, communication, cultural considerations, spirituality, sexuality and health promoting activities. 

Students in Biology Professor Christopher Picone General Biology II Lab are studying invertebrate anatomy, In this particular lab, the invertebrates  being studied are earthworms and lobsters. Someone isn't  fan of the lobster. 😁 The course examines principles of organismal biology. Topics include evolution, diversity, plant biology, and animal biology. The laboratory emphasizes hypothesis formation and data analysis. 

Our nursing students assessed the condition of a newborn in our Nursing Simulation Lab. Our Nursing Simulation Laboratory assists nursing students in learning critical thinking and clinical judgment skills in preparation for their healthcare careers. The “manikins” act as lifelike patient simulators, wherein instructors provide real-time feedback via a control center, giving students as close to real-life simulation as possible. Fellow students watch as their classmates work through the simulation. All students and faculty debrief after the scenario.

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Steven Fiedler's General Chemistry II Lab work on an assignment in the Antonucci Science Complex. In this course, topics include chemical, acid/base, and solubility equilibria and chemical kinetics.
