NICU / PICU Fall Educational Days
1:00 to 3:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 12
All sessions will be held in the Briggs and Stratton auditorium on the 2nd floor of the main hospital. These sessions will give a general overview of the nursing care in the NICU and PICU. Students must attend one of the sessions prior to requesting an alternative (shadow) experience in the NICU or PICU. There are DVDs available for students to view if they are unable to attend a session due to schedule conflicts.
R.S.V.P. to Jeanne Braby (jbraby@chw.org) with the number of students attending at least 2 weeks prior to each date. Tours for clinical groups will be scheduled for a different day after students have attended a presentation. Contact MJ McConnell (MMcConnell@chw.org) for the PICU tour. Contact either Anne Grocholski (agrocholski@chw.org) or Ann Brooks (abrooks@chw.org) for the NICU tour.
