Family Nursing Course seeks pregnant volunteers for simulated prenatal visit

ARE YOU PREGNANT?

The faculty of the Grand Rapids Community College Family Nursing Course are looking for pregnant volunteers for a simulated prenatal visit.  This is not to replace a regular visit with your provider but an opportunity for our LPN students to simulate an office visit with willing participants.

We will hold our simulations on January 14 and January 16 between 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.  Lunch will be provided.

If you are interested and available, please contact Dawn Zuidgeest-Craft, NNP, PNP, MSN, by email and let know which date works best for you: dzuidgee@grcc.edu.

Directions and more detail to follow after sign-up.
