\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 December 2, 2004 \u2013 Registered nurses, 溏心vlog免费B站 students, and others who volunteered at the University\u2019s bioterrorism clinic on Nov. 19 said it was a great learning experience.<\/p>\n


\nJordanna Foley was one of 25 registered nurses from The Miriam Hospital who volunteered. \u201cIt is necessary and I am proud to be a part of it,\u201d the Warwick resident said while pausing from \u201cvaccinating\u201d volunteer patients. \u201cIt\u2019s about raising awareness and like any good nurse, I want to help raise the awareness of the public about these types of preparations.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nFoley and her 24 colleagues who volunteered as staff at the clinic are in a special program for registered nurses to get their bachelors\u2019 degrees through 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n


\n\tDuring a two-hour bioterrorism clinic exercise run in response to a simulated smallpox outbreak, the 溏心vlog免费B站 \u201cvaccinated\u201d 285 patient volunteers. The University was asked by the state Department of Health to conduct a bioterrorism response clinic exercise this fall after having successfully run the largest university-based simulated clinic in the nation last spring in response to a mock anthrax incident. <\/p>\n


\n\tNancy Doyle-Moss, 溏心vlog免费B站 clinical nursing instructor and co-director of the exercise, said The Miriam Hospital nurses were put in leadership roles, such as vaccinating the patient volunteers. \u201cThis was a wonderful opportunity for them, and it was wonderful for our 15 溏心vlog免费B站 student-nurses who volunteered to learn from veteran, experienced nurses,\u201d Doyle-Moss said. \u201cIt was a great chance to practice our response to an emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nMaureen D\u2019Amour, a junior 溏心vlog免费B站 nursing student from Milford, Mass., said, \u201cIf something like this happens where a terrorist releases a biological agent, then we are much better prepared to respond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow 溏心vlog免费B站 nursing student Jessica Todd (shown here, at right) answered questions from patient volunteers as they filled out their forms and then moved to the patient interview station. \u201cThis is worthwhile because it\u2019s preparing medical professionals, as well as the general public,\u201d the Exeter resident said. \u201cYou can never know in advance what the anxiety level will be, but by practicing the steps for an emergency response, we can make the process smoother and help put people at ease.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nSylvia Cunha, a Rhode Island College nursing student from Central Falls, volunteered as a patient. (Shown here talking with Jessica Todd.) \u201cThis was well done. The clinic volunteers explained everything and it was well organized. People are not aware of the severity of such an outbreak.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s necessary to practice to avoid panic,\u201d said Jennifer Rezendes, another nurse from The Miriam Hospital.<\/p>\n


\n\tWill Daniels, a freshman member of the men\u2019s basketball team who is majoring in animal and veterinary science, went through the clinic as a volunteer. \u201cIt\u2019s important to know the procedure in an emergency. It was fast, and the clinic helped me be prepared because the world is more dangerous.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
