Mid-Carolina AHEC would like to
extend a heartfelt thank you to Murdock Orthodontics for their donation to the
Health Careers Program this past winter. Murdock Orthodontics is committed and
passionate about supporting local charities within its communities. Both of the Murdock brothers participated in
a similar program in high school and look at them today. They now have the
opportunity to be role models to students and support healthcare leaders of
tomorrow. To learn more about Murdock Orthodontics and their community outreach
programs, go to www.murdockortho.com.
Thank you for your support!
Prior to COVID-19 Students in the Mid-Carolina AHEC Health Careers Program were able to participate in an interactive activity that allowed them to act as nurses during a simulation activity. The experience was offered through Mid-Carolina AHEC’s continued partnership with Midlands Technical College: Airport Campus. Chaunta Simmons, RN, an instructor with the college’s Health Sciences Department, developed the experience to provide a way for students to actively learn about the nursing profession. Together with Nursing Department Chair Shirley Bannister, RN, they explained the roles of nurses, provided a brief presentation, and enabled students to perform as nurses by taking care of their simulated patient. Students completed a series of tasks common to the day-to-day nursing practice such as patient assessment, foley catheter management, patient positioning, post-operative management, medication administration and safety all while adorned with personal protective equipment (PPE). &qu
