* The Nursing Department will held an open house for Alumni and friends to see their new Simulation Manikin.

Thanks to a $33,000 Nursing Improvement Grant from the Illinois Board of Higher Education and the cooperation of Gene McLain `73 the college secured a high-tech Simulation Manikin to be used in our Nursing program. The manikin can be programmed to exhibit any number of medical conditions. When a correct nursing diagnosis is made and appropriate nursing interventions are initiated, the manikin's heath improves; the manikin's condition worsens if actions are inaccurate. While visiting his son, Marty, a Sophomore, Mr. McLain heard of our need. As director of corporate accounts at Laerdal, the company that makes the simulation manikin, Mr. McLlain was able to connect Nursing Department Chair, Dr. Julie Luetschwager to the appropriate people to assist in the development of the new simulation lab and in securing the grant.
