Let's Take Care of Simulated Patients

Campers will care for a team of simulated patients in small groups, acting as the nurse and delivering treatments and care, as well as completing patient teaching for each manikin patient. The episode of care will be followed by a Debriefing to allow all campers to reflect and integrate information.

Keep That Field Sterile

Campers will set up a sterile field using gloves, drapes and sterile instruments and will complete a dressing change on a manikin patient.

What's my "Sugar" Level?

Campers will learn how to perform point of care glucose testing and will be active in simulation for patient Millie Larsen who is experiencing a change in glucose.

Self-Care for Nurses
