Beaver Dam Campus Nursing Gets a Fresh New Look

Moraine Park’s Beaver Dam campus recently underwent a remodel project, which included the addition of an Interdisciplinary Simulation Center.  The Interdisciplinary Simulation Center is a learning lab replica of a hospital unit—complete with fully equipped patient rooms for hands-on learning, an observation deck for teacher instruction and life-like human simulators for students to learn on.   The technology is so advanced that when pandemic restrictions closed access to clinical sites, nursing students were able to complete the valuable hands-on clinical hours right at the Beaver Dam campus!

 In total, the Beaver Dam campus received an interior remodel covering approximately 15,500 square feet and focused on a Health Simulation Center, which includes a Simulation Ambulance, Simulation Apartment, Anatomage Lab, and several classroom updates with technology enhancements. The remodel also included a faculty suite and two sets of restrooms.

Moraine Park nursing assistant female grads

This summer, 53 students successfully completed Moraine Park Technical College’s Nursing Assistant (CNA) boot camps – a rigorous three-week learning experience. Additional camps are planned for January and March, 2017!

Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College Career Training (TAACCCT) ACT 4 Healthcare Grant program, the CNA boot camps condense a typical 8- or 16-week, three-credit Nursing Assistant course into an accelerated format. They provide classroom theory, laboratory experience and clinical learning that teaches students the skills to perform duties such as taking vital signs, bathing, dressing, making beds, and other direct resident care. Community agencies are used for clinical learning and include long-term care settings. Offered at all Moraine Park campuses – Beaver Dam, Fond du Lac and West Bend – the grant funded CNA boot camps will continue through March of 2018. Continue reading
