On a beautiful Friday afternoon, we invited our Ponce community members to join in on an exclusive hard hat tour of what will soon be The Emory School of Nursing's state-of-the-art learning center.
Donning hard hats and vests, attendees were able to get a behind-the-scenes look at the blueprints and the beginning stages of the upcoming facility. Throughout the tour, we uncovered a plethora of insights surrounding the new build:
1. There will be six skills labs used to practice basic skills such as administering nasal tubes, IVs, and other injections.
2. The lab spaces and simulation labs will be equipped with 57 cameras, for optimal ability to review the students’ work.
3. An area of the new learning center will be dedicated to teaching nurses how to treat victims of sexual assault, as result of a recent, $1.2 million HRSA grant.
Immediately following the educational and hands-on experience, we sat down over lunch to continue the conversations, which included discussions around the simulation labs and the incredible work done in the nursing industry.
Additionally, we asked attendees: What would a collaboration with The Emory School of Nursing look like for your company? From body cameras to training scenarios, there were several ideas mentioned:
“Researching nurse training – we always need nurses to hire!”
“Providing excellent parking services for all Emory School of Nursing staff/students.”
“Collaborating with technology and the products Utility makes.”
“Making sure our fellow officers and peers have safety skills.”
“Body cameras/digital evidence management could be used for nurse training.”
“Collaborating with students in clinical rotations in vascular.”
“Azura Vascular could collaborate on kidney patients.”
“Incorporate video/data analytics in the medical field.”
Utility could provide body worn cameras to nursing students and instructers could give real feedback.”
“Body cameras for hospitals.”
Overall, members were excited for future opportunities and what’s to come!
