Special Events

Four County Career Center and Northwest State Community College have partnered to offer an accident simulation for paramedic students (FCCC), law enforcement students (FCCC), and LPN and RN nursing students (NSCC).

Law enforcement students responded to an accident in the Career Center parking lot.  Paramedic students pulled four "victims" (student actors) from the wrecked cars and loaded in into a ProMedica Air helicopter and ambulances. They were assisted by the Ridgeville Township Fire Department.  The victims were transported to the nursing lab at Northwest State.  Once in the lab, two of the victims served as stadardized patients, or actors that remain in character and act out injuries.  The other two victims were replaced by computerized mannequins programmed with injuries requiring care, including a premature labor, a fractured leg and other ailments.

The entire simulation was also videotaped and reviewed with the students.  This simulation was designed to provide students with realistic training, which will help prepare them for careers in various health care and public service fields.
