The Nursing Consortium of South Florida, a coalition of hospitals, nursing schools, health care agencies and foundations, has once again organized the Day in the Life of a Nurse™ program in partnership with South Florida public school districts and many private high schools. Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale participated with 47 students from Cardinal Gibbons High School and Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs Charter, Zion Lutheran in Deerfield Beach, Highlands Christian Academy in Pompano Beach and Archbishop McCarthy in Southwest Ranches.In most instances, students participating in the one-day program take part in various activities including tours of key hospital departments conducted by “real nurses.” Pictured: Lance Bobb RN, IV Nurse Therapist for Holy Cross Hospital demonstrates IV insertion skills to students.
