I enjoyed how the instructors shared skills and knowledge that were tailored to our level. I had the opportunity to create care plans, learn about titrating critical medications, and read EKGs, which allowed me to practice critical thinking while integrating information from other courses. This course also helped me gain more confidence and communicate with patients and family members, which I will bring to my first job as a nurse.

Interdisciplinary Case Study

南瓜影院 students from a variety of healthcare-related disciplines, including nursing, collaborate and problem-solve a 鈥渞eal life鈥� health scenario during one of the six yearly interdisciplinary case studies at 南瓜影院.

Students are split into groups with a mix of different majors and review the health profile of the fictional patient, including all religious, social, and cultural aspects, as well as drug and herb interactions.

Each case study focuses on a different subject, such as coronary heart disease, mental health, Parkinson鈥檚 disease, diabetes mellitus, childhood disabilities, and public policy.

南瓜影院 has won numerous accolades for work on the interdisciplinary case studies, including an award for nursing research from Sanford Health Nursing Symposium and a mention in North Dakota Nurse Magazine.
