With the beginning of each semester of the senior year inpatient clinical experience, a special learning session takes place in the form of a skills fair. This fair is set up to familiarize students with some of the skills they will be practicing in the academic term ahead and throughout their nursing careers. It is directed by faculty members who demonstrate and describe such techniques as chest physiothera- py, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, naso-gastric tube insertion, and venipuncture. During the skills fair, students are given the opportuni- ty to try out these new procedures in a non-stressful environment before having to use them in the hospital setting.
