Happy Nurses Week to all of our incredible nursing faculty, leadership, and FUTURE NURSES!

In honor of our nursing team and students, we are excited to highlight one of the unique IPE simulation training opportunities our senior level nursing students participate in; an event designed to strengthen collaborative practice, critical thinking and enhance communication skills in patient care spaces.

This IPE simulation training is done in collaboration with the Riverside Residents and Riverside Regional simulation lab. During the simulated scenarios, our nursing students and residents have the opportunity to work side-by-side practicing structured communication, sharing perspectives and applying clinical judgement; working together to solve problems as an interprofessional team.

Always proud of our nursing students and faculty and their dedication to the profession!
