Wright State nursing students will provide Stop the Bleed training at Wilmington High School on Nov. 22 as part of a community study project.<\/p><\/div>\n

A group of Wright State University nursing students will put their education to good use by teaching others how to staunch the flow of blood in an emergency during a special program in Wilmington.<\/p>\n

\u201cBleeding is the number one cause of death that is preventable after an injury,\u201d said Madelyn Bebko, a senior nursing student from Centerville and president of Wright State\u2019s chapter of the Association of Student Nurses.<\/p>\n

Bebko and other nursing students recently underwent training in a course called Stop the Bleed, provided by the American College of Surgeons. Bebko and six of her fellow nursing students are taking that training one step further.<\/p>\n

As part of their community study project, they will teach Stop the Bleed to students, staff and community members at Wilmington High School in Clinton County on Nov. 22.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is that once community members are taught they, in turn, can teach others,\u201d Bebko said. \u201cOnce an individual takes the class and hands-on skill training, they are eligible to become an instructor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other senior nursing students participating in this project are Kaylin Avers, Karleigh Godfrey, Kailin Horlacher, Emma Kasprovich, Aniya Lee and Dalton Walter.<\/p>\n

Through a series of surveys of Wilmington, the students found that because of the community\u2019s industrial, transportation and socioeconomic bases, there is a risk for personal injury that could be served if more residents know how to stop serious bleeding in an emergency. Teaching the community how to Stop the Bleed was a good fit.<\/p>\n

The American College of Surgeons said Stop the Bleed has prepared nearly 4 million people worldwide to stop bleeding in a severely injured person. Someone who is severely bleeding can bleed to death in as little as five minutes. The focus is to put pressure on a wound by hand, pack the wound or use a specially designed tourniquet to stop the bleeding.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticipants in the Stop the Bleed program feel empowered by the hands-on bleeding control skills they learn,\u201d Bebko said.<\/p>\n

She added that through the training, done with mannequins and fake blood, people who have no medical background can learn this life-saving procedure.<\/p>\n

While these nursing students will become teachers for a day, they also will be fulfilling a wider role, brought on by their study of Wilmington.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe students will have a better understanding of how the health of a community directly impacts the health of the patients they will be caring for as registered nurses,\u201d said Harriet Knowles, an adjunct faculty member in Wright State\u2019s School of Nursing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She emphasizes that \u201cevery nurse is a community nurse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The students\u2019 project does not end with the Wilmington visit. At the end of the semester, the students will invite those who were interviewed to attend a presentation at Wright State on the study and their experiences with teaching Stop the Bleed.<\/p>\n

This project not only benefits the nursing students but also Wright State.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be talking to high school seniors, and to those who are looking for a college,\u201d Bebko said. \u201cWe\u2019ll be visible and identifying ourselves as with the Wright State School of Nursing. By us doing this training, they can see what Wright State is about.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of being a nurse is educating others,\u201d Bebko added. \u201cIt\u2019s important to share the wealth of knowledge we\u2019re getting as nursing students.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
