Local High School Students Participate in Nursing Simulation |
|
LSC's recruitment team hosted high school students from Denfeld, Hermantown and Proctor who are are either in an Intro to Nursing course and earning college credit or are a member of their school's HOSA club. Tracy Moshier led students through a simulation demonstration for a patient with hyperthyroidism. Students were asked to do the following:
- Use beginning clinical judgement decision-making skills to plan care for the patient
- Review the patient chart using DocuCare, a simulated electronic medical record
- Observe, assess with advanced monitoring and auscultating, and determine what nursing interventions were priority
Students saw how important simulation is in the LSC nursing programs and how it allows for complete, safe immersion into nursing practice and experiential learning. Tracy also talked about the great need for LPNs and the benefits of going through an LPN program, even if the long-term goal is to become an RN.

LSC's Phi Theta Kappa Chapter Wins Regional Award |
|
The Lake Superior College PTK chapter was awarded a regional, Most Distinguished Honors in Action Theme Award for their research into theme three, "Trade, Craftsmanship, and Industry,” at the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Minn-Kota Regional Spring Convention.
This is the second year in a row that the chapter has achieved a 5-Star Chapter Status, which is the highest star status a chapter can reach each year.
Honors in Action is a biennial topic that is an interdisciplinary, contemporary topic of interest related to global challenges. Members explore the topic with the multitude of perspectives that their personal experiences and academic studies provide. This also creates opportunities for leadership and action. Each chapter selects a predefined theme within the topic to research to an action conclusion. Once completed, a technical style report is submitted for competition with other chapters internationally and ranked. Based on this ranking, a chapter may win a Hallmark award at the regional and the international level. Congratulations to the chapter for representing Lake Superior College so well!
Pictured with award are LSC’s chapter president Jennifer Gustum and chapter advisor Deanna Keller.
