School of Nursing receives federal earmark
A $329,670 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration, authorized by the U.S. Congress, will enable the SF State School of Nursing to update its Technology Learning Classrooms, which provide students with practical training and exercises in critical thinking. Congresswoman Jackie Speier was instrumental in obtaining the authorization.
The School of Nursing’s Technology Learning Classrooms are where students can practice their skills in a simulated clinical setting. Rooms of hospital beds and up-to-date medical equipment are also home to patient simulators, computerized mannequins that can be programmed to present a variety of health problems.
Emergency care events such as cardiac arrest can be programmed in the mannequins to give nursing students experience that might not occur during their required clinical rotations in hospitals and clinics. Undergraduate and graduate nursing students also have the opportunity to hone their skills on the latest in health monitoring technology.
Cameras, recording devices and playback equipment allow students to review and analyze their reactions and decisions during exercises with the simulators.

New way to submit events to CampusMemo
CampusMemo will now pick up events listings directly from the University Calendar, to streamline the events publicity function for campus units. Departments interested in publicizing an event in CampusMemo simply need to register the event on the University Calendar by 10 a.m. on Wednesday of the previous week. To submit an event, go to http://www.sfsu.edu/calendar/ and click on "Submit an Event" in the left-hand navigation bar. This new procedure saves event sponsors the extra step of entering information specifically for CampusMemo, and the later deadline for submittal allows more time for event sponsors to submit their items to CampusMemo.
