Elementary students get taste of medical life at St. Elizabeth Medical Center
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) A number of first graders from N.A. Walbran Elementary School attended class at the Saint Elizabeth College of Nursing on Wednesday.
They played the roles of the nurses, the surgeons and even the patients. The goal was to show the kids that the staff is there to help them in case of an emergency. "I get a lot of feedback from the teachers and their parents that the program is successful in that they have a clearer understanding of what to expect," said Norma Williams, of St. Elizabeth Medical Center. "And we think first grade is a great grade to reach out to because they're articulate. They ask a lot of questions, they are very engaged. We think it's very, very helpful." St. Elizabeth Medical Center has been offering this program for more than 30 years. |
