A year of Public Health Clinical

Wow........where has the time gone? It has been awhile since I posted. I had an administrative job this year and am finally finishing it up. So.........time to post again.

This month marks one year of the Public Health degree completion nursing program clinical replacement activities. We began using Virtual Reality Simulations last June and have learned a lot over this year. We are busy reviewing the data from the 6 cohorts that used the Virtual Reality Simulation clinical replacements this year. We will be making a few changes as we move forward with new cohorts in October.

We will expand the vignettes so the faculty can choose from five different Virtual Reality Simulations instead of only three.  We will also be collecting some data for a research study.  More to come.

It is so much fun bringing out the new students. They do a great job of figuring out how to fly and move about.

The first night of class. the students made their avatars and are getting a tour of the Public Health Clinic. One student ended up as a mouse and needed help turning back into a human being. :)
