High school students get a taste for nursing careers at YSN
Students from the National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC) for Nursing spent time at YSN over the summer getting a taste of life in nursing science and clinical practice. The NSLC offers the opportunity for outstanding high school students to participate in fast-paced, high-level, interactive summer sessions at universities around the nation. In YSN’s state-of-the-art simulation labs, students learned how to take vital signs, care for an infant, and communicate with family members experiencing stress or loss from a loved one in a hospital.
Enhancing reflective parenting in home visiting
The Minding the Baby (MTB) national office held its annual three-day Training Institute at the Child Study Center in July. MTB, an evidence-based home visitation model cofounded by Drs. Lois Sadler, Arietta Slade, and Linda Mayes in 2002, provides an integrated model of care for first-time young mothers and their families, bridging primary-care and mental-health approaches to enhancing the mother-infant relationship. MTB has been written about in the New Yorker as well as in scientific journals. It is now being implemented in Connecticut and Florida, as well as in Scotland, England, and Denmark.
