Kasey Doyel - “Educating on De-escalation” (session 13) Correctional nursing is a field that is misunderstood. Handling difficult conversations and de-escalating techniques are not the focus of education in nursing school. Clinicals are rarely allowed in this setting, so nurses do not get first-hand experience in this field. Experience in this field is on-the-job training that includes nursing skills but also correctional and safety training. Communication techniques are frequently not taught in these orientations, but a lack of communication skills can be detrimental to a nurse in this setting. An educational module was developed by applying techniques to help build confidence in communicating effectively with inmates and other staff members in the correctional setting. It is hoped that including this educational module in the orientation process will assist new-hires in acquiring communication skills specific to working in correctional nursing.

It is caused by the Poliovirus, which affects the brain and spinal cord’s nerves. The wild poliovirus has three variants: types one, two, and three; all belonging to the Picornaviridae family. This disease has been around for hundreds of years and has led to significant morbidity and mortality, especially among young children. Victims could be subject to headaches, nausea, fever, vomiting, stiffness, muscle loss, and even irreversible paralysis. Since the development of effective vaccines, the world has almost entirely eradicated polio, which is only present in a few countries. As we work towards a polio-free future, understanding the strategies taken to almost completely get rid of polio is very important. It is also imperative to know not only the past state but also the current state of the disease.

I will describe why sexual education is needed and what we can teach from k-12 that is appropriate and educating. I will depict what states have the most comprehensive, earliest, and best sexual education programs and which ones have the least. I will also discuss factors influencing this and use maps to display my data. Finally, I will go over the impacts of having proper sexual education vs. not.
Rocio Figueroa, Patricia Kolodziejczyk, and Rrok Prennushi - “‘Behind the Scenes of Moval GameDay” (session 11) During the semester of fall 2023, we have been given the opportunity to carry out an internship with the Athletic Department and with Tamika Drake. In this experience we have obtained the knowledge of how to organize globally and in detail, what it means to organize an event of any sport. The tasks that were given to us that also helped us gain experience included things such as taking care of the music and sound during the events taking place. As well as the setup of all the items necessary for the game to take place properly. Good social skills were also required in interacting with other teams and referees to welcome and accommodate them in any way needed, such as their locker rooms. Taking part in concessions and ticketing also demanded these social skills. Working with media and working to expand content using photos and videos so that all attendees can obtain visual information has also been something I’ve learned to do throughout this experience. Keep in mind, keep any media announcement or event simple yet intriguing to both invite all groups of people, while keeping them informed properly. Kendall Frank - Art Showcase Skyie Fuentes - “Small Pox” (poster session) Smallpox was believed to have existed thousands of years ago. The last known case was in 1977. It is a very contagious and deadly disease. It is thought that Christopher Columbus brought smallpox over from Europe to America, causing the epidemic among the indigenous population. In 1796, Edward Jenner, an English physician, developed the smallpox vaccination. He tested the cowpox virus on a boy, which later showed immunization against smallpox and provided protection against it. The last known natural case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977. The initial symptoms of smallpox are similar to those of the flu and may include fever, fatigue, headache, body aches, and a rash after a few days. When the rash develops, it causes red spots on the face, hands, and forearms and then spreads to other body parts. Over time, these little rash dots fill with fluid, forming abscesses. The pustules are deeply embedded into the skin, painful, and often extremely itchy. After about 10 to 14 days, these little pustules start to dry and form scabs; they will eventually fall off, leaving pitted scars. Victor Gabriel - See Hopkinson
