Our senior nursing students had an incredible day in the Neuro skills lab. 🧠🧠

Moving from hands-on airway management to high acuity, Neuro simulation they practiced placing oral and nasal airways, refined their bag,-valve-mask technique, and worked through real time decision-making in a stroke scenario that progressed from TNK administration to hemorrhagic conversion and EVD management.

We were grateful to have the Saint Francis Medical Center Neuro/SICU critical care nurses on site to guide students through the complexities of acute Neuro care. A great day of teamwork, clinical judgment, and confidence building. 👏🏼🩺
