Children’s Hospital Colorado and Zoll Medical are partnering to support the pediatric area, while experts from the American College of Surgeons will provide hands-on training related to the Stop the Bleed program.
Transport Nursing
Sponsored by the Air & Surface Transport Nurses Association, the Transport Nursing Learning Center provides a close-up look inside two patient transport helicopters, an ambulance and a fixed-wing fuselage mock-up (without wings) to show how critically ill patients are transported.
Critical Care Challenge
During this clinical competition, teams of nurses use their clinical knowledge, psychomotor skills and to provide care for a simulated patient. The scenarios test each team’s patient assessment, critical decision-making, clinical knowledge and teamwork.
