ADN Nursing Students Enhance Skills Through Simulator Training for Healthcare Simulation Week: Sept. 16-20
| |
|
This week NETC celebrated Healthcare Simulation Week (September 16-20). Second-year NETC Associate Degree of Nursing (ADN) students took part in a series of hands-on training exercises designed to prepare them for real-world patient care. Led by Simulation Instructor Lori Rivers, the students engaged in realistic medical scenarios using a high-tech mannequin—referred to affectionately as Millie—who can blink, breathe, and display heartbeats.
Second-year ADN Students were guided through 45-minute scenarios in which groups of four to five students administered medications, checked vital signs, and learned to communicate effectively with doctors and families. By simulating high-pressure, real-life scenarios, these exercises are vital in bridging the gap between classroom learning and clinical practice, ensuring that NETC's nursing students are well-prepared for the challenges of the healthcare field.

Practice Makes Perfect:
Nursing Students Train in Sim Labs
| | |
|
During Healthcare Simulation Week, first-year ADN students gained hands-on experience in wound care through simulation training. The simulations provide an environment where students can practice assessing and treating various wound types, applying proper dressings, and learning infection control techniques. This innovative approach bridges the gap between classroom theory and hands-on practice. | |

Constitution Day in Marlboro Co. | |
|
Students at NETC's Marlboro Campus in Bennettsville celebrated Constitution Day by participating in the "Joining the Signers" event, an online platform allowing students to add their own signatures to a virtual copy of the U.S. Constitution.
This interactive experience gave students a chance to honor the Founding Fathers and reflect on the importance of the Constitution in shaping American democracy. By virtually "signing" the historic document, students reinforced the significance of civic engagement and their role in preserving the nation's constitutional heritage.
