(PRWEB) April 29, 2005 -- Individuals interested in pursuing an education in
nursing can register for So You Want To Be A Nurse… a free, seminar from 3 to 5
p.m., Tuesday, May 10th at Pima Medical Institute, 957 S. Dobson Road in Mesa.
Seating is limited and participants must register by calling toll free at
888-442-5998. So You Want To Be A Nurse… is sponsored by PMI in honor of
National Nursing Week, May 6th – 12th.
In addition to an informative and
entertaining video titled, Dare To Care – Discover Nursing, an overview and
question and answer session by Registered Nurse, Sharon Caves, Nurse Education
Coordinator for PMI’s Mesa campus, the one-of-a-kind seminar will allow
potential students to try out their bedside manner with SimMan, an interactive,
human-patient simulator.
“SimMan is a great teaching tool that will
provide our future nursing students with a wide range of real-life medical
scenarios that they will experience when they begin their nursing careers,” said
Caves. “By providing this seminar we hope to give prospective students some
insight on the educational requirements, overview of the career, and an
interactive session with a cranky, simulated patient to see if nursing is the
right fit for them.”
The Arizona State Board of
Nursing in their 2003 Annual Report stated there were 700-900 nursing students
who did not get into state nursing programs the semester they applied and the
number continues to escalate at almost double that rate. Pima Medical Institute
has a fully approved nursing school approved by the Arizona Board of Nursing and
is currently accepting students for its first class scheduled for this summer.
There is currently no waiting period to enroll.
PMI is one of the premier medical career colleges
in the western United States. The privately owned, nationally accredited school
provides students with a well-rounded education embracing theoretical classroom
studies, as well as on-site training at medical facilities that mirror the
working environment they will pursue after
graduation.
