WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.050 align:middle line:84% SPEAKER 1: Chino happens to be a place where 00:00:03.050 --> 00:00:05.630 align:middle line:84% some exciting innovations have been 00:00:05.630 --> 00:00:08.250 align:middle line:90% taking place in the classroom. 00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:12.080 align:middle line:84% Here's a look at how our vocational nursing program is 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.020 align:middle line:84% using virtual reality equipment to train 00:00:15.020 --> 00:00:17.580 align:middle line:90% the next generation of nurses. 00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:20.870 align:middle line:90% 00:00:20.870 --> 00:00:23.420 align:middle line:84% SPEAKER 2: The Chaffey College Chino Education Center 00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:25.160 align:middle line:84% is located just a couple of miles 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.200 align:middle line:90% north of the main Chino campus. 00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:29.570 align:middle line:84% Here, nursing students learn everything, 00:00:29.570 --> 00:00:32.659 align:middle line:84% from taking blood pressure to administering injections, 00:00:32.659 --> 00:00:34.490 align:middle line:90% to delivering babies. 00:00:34.490 --> 00:00:37.430 align:middle line:84% There are three labs featuring top of the line equipment 00:00:37.430 --> 00:00:38.990 align:middle line:90% in a hospital-like setting. 00:00:38.990 --> 00:00:42.890 align:middle line:84% Between 100 to 150 vocational nursing students 00:00:42.890 --> 00:00:45.050 align:middle line:84% receive training and certification testing 00:00:45.050 --> 00:00:46.520 align:middle line:90% here every year. 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.090 align:middle line:84% In fall 2022, the program began incorporating 00:00:50.090 --> 00:00:52.250 align:middle line:84% human-patient simulation technology 00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:54.080 align:middle line:84% in vocational nursing instruction, 00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:56.750 align:middle line:84% thanks to a Strong Workforce grant. 00:00:56.750 --> 00:00:59.690 align:middle line:84% Chaffey College is one of the few Southern California 00:00:59.690 --> 00:01:02.540 align:middle line:84% community colleges using this technology in nursing 00:01:02.540 --> 00:01:03.380 align:middle line:90% education. 00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:06.197 align:middle line:90% 00:01:06.197 --> 00:01:08.030 align:middle line:84% ERIC SORENSON: My name is Dr. Eric Sorenson, 00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:09.822 align:middle line:84% and I'm the Dean of the Health and Wellness 00:01:09.822 --> 00:01:12.960 align:middle line:90% Academic and Career Community. 00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:16.440 align:middle line:84% Our goal is really to have the same equipment that 00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.840 align:middle line:84% exists in the hospitals, exists in 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.510 align:middle line:84% the various clinical environments in our skills 00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:22.140 align:middle line:90% labs. 00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:23.820 align:middle line:84% LIDIA LOPEZ: Here at Chaffey, we have 00:01:23.820 --> 00:01:27.960 align:middle line:84% so many avenues of educating here doing simulation. 00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:30.330 align:middle line:84% We have high-fidelity mannequins. 00:01:30.330 --> 00:01:32.220 align:middle line:90% We have virtual simulation. 00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:34.805 align:middle line:84% And the students get to learn a lot, hands on. 00:01:34.805 --> 00:01:36.180 align:middle line:84% ELYSSA BOLDING: It's really hard, 00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:38.490 align:middle line:84% and it's really difficult, but it's really awesome 00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:41.430 align:middle line:84% to come to class and know that your professors care about you, 00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:44.040 align:middle line:84% and your classmates are also willing to help you out. 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.150 align:middle line:84% Chaffey College is like a community. 00:01:46.150 --> 00:01:49.362 align:middle line:90% And that's why I really like it. 00:01:49.362 --> 00:01:51.070 align:middle line:84% ERIC SORENSON: Virtual reality has really 00:01:51.070 --> 00:01:53.470 align:middle line:84% opened the door for our students to continue 00:01:53.470 --> 00:01:55.430 align:middle line:90% to solidify their skills. 00:01:55.430 --> 00:02:01.030 align:middle line:84% LIDIA LOPEZ: It literally gives you the view of an entire room. 00:02:01.030 --> 00:02:02.650 align:middle line:84% You have a patient in front of you. 00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:03.680 align:middle line:90% You have a nurse. 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.290 align:middle line:90% You have medication. 00:02:05.290 --> 00:02:08.530 align:middle line:84% You have everything that you would in a normal situation 00:02:08.530 --> 00:02:09.430 align:middle line:90% in real life. 00:02:09.430 --> 00:02:12.070 align:middle line:84% ELYSSA BOLDING: The VR simulation is really cool. 00:02:12.070 --> 00:02:14.680 align:middle line:84% You kind of go into a whole other world. 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.770 align:middle line:84% There was a little puddle on the floor in the VR world. 00:02:17.770 --> 00:02:20.950 align:middle line:84% But I kept stepping over it thinking that it was real. 00:02:20.950 --> 00:02:23.140 align:middle line:84% LIDIA LOPEZ: You feel so immersed into it. 00:02:23.140 --> 00:02:25.000 align:middle line:84% You really do feel like you're in there. 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.280 align:middle line:84% ERIC SORENSON: And this provides a realistic learning 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.040 align:middle line:90% environment. 00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:30.310 align:middle line:84% So they're not practicing on patients. 00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:32.710 align:middle line:84% They're practicing in their simulations. 00:02:32.710 --> 00:02:34.210 align:middle line:84% LIDIA LOPEZ: To practice skills, get 00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:37.090 align:middle line:84% accustomed to doing nursing procedures and skills 00:02:37.090 --> 00:02:41.470 align:middle line:84% so they can get ready for bedside nursing at hospitals, 00:02:41.470 --> 00:02:44.005 align:middle line:84% at clinical sites with real patients. 00:02:44.005 --> 00:02:45.880 align:middle line:84% ELYSSA BOLDING: I was able to call the doctor 00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:49.060 align:middle line:84% and ask for what kind of orders that the patient may need 00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:51.170 align:middle line:90% and give a whole SBAR report. 00:02:51.170 --> 00:02:54.950 align:middle line:84% That was something new for me because in the VR world, 00:02:54.950 --> 00:02:58.130 align:middle line:84% we're able to experience a higher stress level 00:02:58.130 --> 00:03:01.460 align:middle line:84% scenarios versus clinicals, we may not experience the same. 00:03:01.460 --> 00:03:02.960 align:middle line:84% ERIC SORENSON: It's important for us 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.660 align:middle line:84% to replicate a realistic clinical environment 00:03:05.660 --> 00:03:09.080 align:middle line:84% because our students will ultimately be clinicians 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.010 align:middle line:84% dealing with and caring for real patients. 00:03:12.010 --> 00:03:13.760 align:middle line:84% LIDIA LOPEZ: The students are enjoying it. 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:14.850 align:middle line:90% It's very fun. 00:03:14.850 --> 00:03:16.130 align:middle line:90% It's interactive. 00:03:16.130 --> 00:03:19.060 align:middle line:90% Technology is here. 00:03:19.060 --> 00:03:20.800 align:middle line:84% ELYSSA BOLDING: I was very nervous 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:21.880 align:middle line:90% coming into this program. 00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:24.730 align:middle line:84% But every week I get through, I get way more confident. 00:03:24.730 --> 00:03:27.760 align:middle line:84% I feel a lot of support and a lot of love here. 00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:30.250 align:middle line:84% As long as I'm willing to do my end of the deal, 00:03:30.250 --> 00:03:33.170 align:middle line:84% they're willing to help me out as much as they can as well. 00:03:33.170 --> 00:03:36.400 align:middle line:84% LIDIA LOPEZ: It's very rewarding teaching nursing, just seeing 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.442 align:middle line:84% these students become successful and meeting their goals. 00:03:40.442 --> 00:03:42.400 align:middle line:84% ERIC SORENSON: Educating those in our community 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.920 align:middle line:84% and impacting their lives is really what we do. 00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:46.870 align:middle line:84% And we do this at a very low cost 00:03:46.870 --> 00:03:51.090 align:middle line:84% that it provides accessibility to everybody in our community.
