Intensive
The HCC Emergency Medical Sciences program will host the 2013 Paramedic Field Operations event in June.
The two-day, hands-on learning event features live scenarios where paramedic students work side-by-side with actual medical, fire and emergency personnel from around the state to gain valuable training and life experience in responding to major trauma incidents. Field Ops are a unique learning experience, and is one of the largest live-action emergency scenario training events in the country.
Quick
Hutchinson Community College and Area Vocational is now enrolling for the Quick Term session.
Quick Term classes are offered between semesters. The time frame for Summer Quick Term classes is May 6, 2013 - August 16, 2013. Courses in the Quick Term program will be offered at the Hutchinson campus, Newton Center, McPherson Center, online, and our new "hybrid" model which combines online learning with several face-to-face interactions.
Analyzing
A recent Work Ethics class utilizes the classic strategy game of chess as a hands-on teaching tool for analytical and critical thinking.
Chess has been used to teach work ethics for centuries.
This lesson focused on "Prioritizing Goals" as a way to succeed at both the game and in the work environment. Chess has been used by the class as a way of highlighting critical thinking, strategy, respect for others, self-control, decisions/consequences, problem-solving skills, and planning.
Thanking
Governor Brownback recently toured Larned State Hospital, and took time out of his schedule to talk with 20 Hutchinson Community College Practical Nursing students at the hospital for their clinical experience.
Brownback was quoted as saying the following to the HCC students: “It’s great to see you all here working toward a great career. Nurses are special people. They are always caring for the person’s needs that aren’t in the charts and that’s what makes a good nurse. Thank you all for what you are doing.”
Enrolling
Students planning to enroll at Hutchinson Community College in the Fall of 2013 can sign up for one of the four upcoming Enrollment Days.
Students will meet with advisors, learn more about majors and career choices and receive information about campus activities and housing opportunities.
