New Mexico — Targeted Issue
The School Nurse and EMS Online Training Project in New Mexico
March 1, 2004 - Feb. 28, 2007
- Project Overview
- Emergencies in schools are common. These emergencies involve students, staff, and school visitors, and be either medical or traumatic. School nurses are key personnel in the treatment of such emergencies. School nurses must be trained in emergency care and EMS. The overall goal of this project is to develop, disseminate, and evaluate a web-based, scenario-driven course to train school nurses in emergency care. Specifically, project staff will: (1) construct a Virtual School Nurse and EMS (VSNEMS) training course online with streaming video lectures and streaming video, and moulage scenarios; (2) train 200 school nurses in emergency care using the Virtual SNEMS learning course modules; and (3) improve school nurse performance in three areas: 1) on-line exam, 2) Confidence Surveys, 3) On-site Mock Emergency Scenario (OMES) tests.
