The Faculty of Nursing at the University of Manitoba is holding its second annual open house today until 1 p.m.
This year, the event will feature tours of the labs within the faculty on the Fort Garry campus, including a lab where computerized mannequins simulate illness and injury that nursing students attend to as part of their training.
Other highlights guests can explore are an interactive wellness centre, where students can provide health information and assessments; a skills lab; and an art display.
A short program will begin at noon to honour donors. A ceremony will honour Kathleen Ruane, a nurse who in 1944 entered U of M's School of Nursing administration program and went on to head the front lines of health care in Canada and the U.S.
The open house runs concurrently with National Nursing Week, an annual event organized by the Canadian Nurses Association. This year the CNA is celebrating its 100 years with the theme, Think you know nursing? Take a closer look? by showcasing the achievements of nursing and its future during the week.
