\n\t\tSays new facility is needed to prepare workers for health care jobs<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 October 1, 2010 \u2013 溏心vlog免费B站 nursing student Rodney Confident of Providence knows that without a solid foundation in chemistry, which is required of all nursing students at 溏心vlog免费B站, he and his classmates would be less able to understand how the body reacts to medicine, the bio-chemical reactions produced by certain diseases and even allergic reactions.<\/p>\n

But he said 溏心vlog免费B站 students and faculty in health care disciplines are at a crossroads. All rely heavily on chemistry as a foundation in their specific fields, and need expanded spaces and contemporary equipment. Without them, Rhode Island will be ill equipped to respond to the expanding and ever changing health care environment.<\/p>\n


\n\tThat\u2019s why Confident, his fellow nursing students and thousands of others who rely on chemistry courses to complete their majors, are stressing the importance of bond referendum 2, which asks voters to approve $78 million for higher education, $61 million of that total for a modern chemistry building at 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cFor example, nurses have to take pharmacology, which builds on chemistry. When we work with IVs, that\u2019s derivative chemistry,\u201d said Confident, who took five chemistry courses at 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Center for Chemistry and Forensic Science will eliminate the cramped spaces in the current chemistry building, Pastore Hall, Confident said. \u201cSometimes we have to wait to use certain lab facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tConfident said chemistry education at 溏心vlog免费B站 would also be transformed with a new facility.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cRight now, I think people feel disengaged in the old building because there are maintenance issues and capacity issues.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nPatients who have Confident at their bedside after he earns his bachelor\u2019s degree from 溏心vlog免费B站 in the fall of 2011, will be lucky indeed. Not only will they be under the care of a nurse with a great chemistry background, they will also benefit from Confident\u2019s background as a nationally certified pharmacy technician at Rite Aid Pharmacy. He works at the pharmacy when he is not in class or on his clinical nursing rotations. He has already done clinical work in geriatrics at Kent Hospital and medical-surgical nursing at Newport Hospital.<\/p>\n
