Nursing students enrolled in the Leadership in Nursing class will present their semester long projects on Wednesday, May 6 at the Bradbury-Thompson Center.
"The projects showcase what they have made better or easier in the field of medicine," said Sue Modig, the School of Nursing receptionist.
The class, taught by Sue Unruh, is made up of about 70 students and 12 groups will present. Each group chose one way to benefit the healthcare community, and the choices vary each semester.
"One group did a waiting room in the hospital, they painted, fixed it up and made it more kid-friendly," Modig said.
Loretta Winkel, a senior in the School of Nursing took the class last semester. Her group made up an acronym to help kids stay germ-free in school. The acronym was "SNACK," which stood for "Sneeze in a tissue, Not on a friend, Always wash your hands, Cough in your elbow, Keep your drinks to yourself."
Her and her group presented their project at a school inservice so teachers could then use it in their classrooms.
"It was neat to see the teaching tool we designed implemented in the school system," Winkel said. "They were all different colors and were easy for children to read."
The presentations last about 20 minutes each, with all the group members taking turns speaking.
The presentations will start at 12:30.
