Mental Health Tip of the Week: Sleep!
Sleep helps to restore the brain, when we do not get enough sleep, it affects our memory and our mood! 
 
Getting enough sleep can help us become less forgetful in day-to-day tasks as well as being able to better regulate our emotions throughout the day! 
 
Here are some ways to help improve your sleep:
  1. Try to make sure you go to bed around the same time each night and wake up at the same time each day.
  2. Limit the use of electronics at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
  3. Limit caffeine intake towards the end of the day.
  4. Create a comfortable sleeping atmosphere by being mindful of light, temperature, and sounds.

Innovation lives on in the Nursing Division!

One of our nursing Faculty, Jeremy Kauffman, has improved upon our IV-line drying process by building a multi-line drier to hook up to our hospital-like air & O2! 

What are the benefits of improving the process?

  1. It saves money!
    • A single IV line can cost us $4:00-$6.00 and our students use hundreds of these/year in their training.   

  2. It protects the environment!
    • We can reuse our lines many times if we can dry them out between uses (and not used on real people)
