Later this afternoon, UW-Eau Claire nursing student Kelly Gruber will work with a group of area 4-H Club members to help them learn CPR. The group will use the School of Nursing mannequins as part of the workshop. The 4-H members also will spend time with UW-Eau Claire nursing graduate student Gunnar Larson and Sim-Man (the patient simulator in the School of Nursing). Larson will discuss and demonstrate some of the things nurses do with and/or for patients who are in a hospital. The training session will take place from 4-5:30 p.m. Monday, March 22, in the Nursing Building. For details, contact Elaine Wendt, associate dean of the School of Nursing, at (715) 836-5287.
