Hospital Simulation Lab
New hospital simulation lab offers great experience for nursing students JORDIN GIGNAC NEWS EDITOR
Five weeks ago, COD opened a new hospital simulation lab containing four hospital rooms, a GHEULHĂ&#x20AC;QJ URRP DQG WZR surveillance rooms. Each Hospital room contained a dummy that ZDV VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F WR FHUWDLQ VFH-Â narios and each dummy was set up with all of the necessary supplies. A person playing the role as the patient and an instructor watch the nursing students through one-Âsided glass windows whie using a surveillance room. For the nursing students who have been able to use the new simulation lab, they enjoy the time they get to practice being a nurse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The simulation lab will get] you used to actually being a real nurse,â&#x20AC;? LPN student Morgan Short said. Not only do the nurs-Â ing students feel like the simulation lab is a real hospital, but they also get nervs like they would if it were a real hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like there is actually a patient in the room,â&#x20AC;? LPN student Dan Ritz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[And] itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more
real having a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voice come from the other room [and through a dummy].â&#x20AC;? LPN student Candiss Julian said she gets ner-Â vous just like everyone else in the room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The simulation] makes you feel palpitations, like your heart is beating quickly, and it feels like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually taking care of a real patient,â&#x20AC;? Julian said. Another LPN student, Liza Sciarra, said that the simulation lab makes her feel like a real nurse with-Â out having the downside of someone dying. Although the hospital simulation lab is fairly new, nursing lab assis-Â tants Donna Perchatsch and Priscilla Laubscher said that they expect to have a birthing mother added to the simulation lab in late October. Perchatsch and Laub-Â scher are also having an interior design team decorate the simulation lab so that the simulation hospital will look more like a real hospital. LPN student Mary Kachappilly and other nursing students said that the simulation lab was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;great investment for the programâ&#x20AC;? and LPN student Dan Ritz said

COURIER POLICY & STAFF BOX T/K
Education should be top priority Teachers in Chica-Â go were seen wielding signs and wearing red shirts in allegiance of their movement. Replace red with green, and you have the sight from April 19 of last year as the faculty marched from Lake Foxcroft Park to the board meet-Â ing in support of their contract negotiations. Despite high tensions, both sides were able to reach an agreement that allowed for the school to function without pause. The other main dif-Â ference, is that it came to that point. CODFA, the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty association, were working on nego-Â tiations for a contract with the college last year and according to CODFA President Glenn Hansen, it came down to the last minute.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having been at the 11th hour of negotiations and watch a deal unravel, ZH NQRZ KRZ GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW WKH decision was,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had not been able to rebuild an agreement at midnight, we too would have been on strike.â&#x20AC;? As of Thursday morn-Â ing, the strike in Chicago had entered its fourth day without a resolution. Hansen also said that CODFA supports the striking teachers because â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no one takes a strike action lightlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and is a last resort. He also discussed the importance of the human factor when it comes to education, one that is ig-Â nored when standardized testing is used to eval-Â uate progress because life isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a standardized test and education is more than just a grade. At the Pizza with the
President Town Hall meeting held on Sept. 11, an attendee chimed in with President Rob-Â ert Breuder on the Chicago teachers both calling them greedy and asking where the money would come from to meet demands. Education isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an assembly line, and much to the chagrin of ad-Â ministrations, shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be run like a business on the learning end. During some of the last few minutes at the Town Hall meeting, Breuder told students to do whatever it takes if it means being able to get an education, because â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no one can take your edu-Â cation away from youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Community colleges work because they are a more affordable alter-Â native, and as Breuder said during the meeting,
students from this college do as well or better after transferring to a univer- sity compared to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; students of that college. The reason for those high success rates arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t EHFDXVH RI WKH Ă RZHUV or waterfalls, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be- cause of the teachers. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to tell students that education has to be the top pri- ority in life, but to call the educators that are providing the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;productâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; greedy, seems out of line. ,W LVQ¡W WKH Ă RZHUV that get students on campus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the quality education that is provid- ed through the college by the teachers, and as is being seen through the news, hopefully Chicago teachers will be able to get back into the classroom and move forward so no one takes their education away.

PHOTO Campus Makeover LONDON SUMMERS PHOTO EDITOR
Over the last several years, the college has invested large sums of time and money in an effort to increase the ambience and beau-Â ty of the campus. The initial vibe you feel from a campus when Ă&#x20AC;UVW JD]LQJ XSRQ LW KDV a great deal to do with the selection of what college to attend Pres-Â ident Robert Breuder mentioned at the Sept. 11 Town Hall meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students will make that decision within twenty minutes of step-Â ping out of their car on campus,â&#x20AC;? said Breuder. Serving purposes both for aesthetics as well as usefulness, the new construction proj-Â ects balance, impor-Â tance of function, and fascination. President

Areas such as the Stu-Â dent Services Center JURXSLQJ RIĂ&#x20AC;FHV WRJHWKHU and renovated hallways have added to the college and most of these areas have only opened re-Â cently in this past year. Reconstruction of the Seaton Computer Center, PE Building, and the McAninch Arts Center are estimated to be completed in 2014. At which point the oldest building on campus will have been built in 2009.

Here, students will able to walk through a vir-Â tual farm where videos will be shown and other displays can be seen to spread awareness about the cruelty of factory farms. The club will be running this event through PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, but they like to emphasize that Students for Animals Defense is in no way similar to PETA but they do sometimes use their free services and are supportive of the research PETA partakes in. The club will also be holding a No Shave November contest to raise awareness of the fur industry tactics (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grow Your Own Furâ&#x20AC;?).
