Students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in all clinical skills in a critical acute care, sub-acute/long term care, and home care settings on all patients in all areas both inside and out of the Critical Care Environments with or without invasive and non-invasive ventilator patients and attend one Pulmonary Rehab session. Students will gain instructor experience by mentoring lower level students (Jr), under the direction of a preceptor. A two day class project occurs during the last week where students set up and run the Respiratory Care Department with elected class supervisors under direct preceptor observation. Students will orientate or re-orientate to the facilities, use electronic charting or paper documents, and assist or directly deliver all respiratory patient care and patient transport on receiving end from local ambulance or helicopter. Written assignments include patient care plans, physician documentation, and maintenance of clinical documentation.
