It’s all about gaining experience. Today, first semester nursing students completed simulations created by our fourth semester nursing students!

The fourth semester students created scenarios based on content covered in the first semester of the nursing program. They simulated patients experiencing hypertension, asthma, and low blood sugar. From there, the first semester students each got hands-on experience walking through a typical patient visit and deducing the problem.
