🪽 Did you know DPT students could fly? We didn’t either! 😂💜 Our 2nd-year DPT students took Thera Ex to new heights while demonstrating the differences between:
💪 Strength — dynamometer grip strength
🚀 Power — broad jump
🔥 Endurance — push-ups
Learning the difference is one thing. Measuring it, demonstrating it, and maybe catching a little air while doing it is another! 🪽😂Way to put Thera Ex into action! 💜🐾 Go Bearcats!

💉 **From the fundamentals to critical care and Code Blue; our nursing students did it all!** 🚨💜

Our 4th-semester nursing students stepped into the teacher role, helping our 1st-semester students practice one of the fundamentals: giving an IM injection. And yes…a few may have needed a quick refresher themselves before teaching someone else! 😂 That is part of learning, too!

Then it was time to switch gears. 🚨 Our 4th-semester students put their clinical judgment, communication, teamwork, and nursing skills to the test during a mock Code Blue and... they rocked it!

There is something pretty special about seeing students who were once learning the fundamentals now helping teach them to others while preparing to respond when every second counts. 💜🐾Learn it. Practice it. Teach it. Put it into action. Go Bearcats!

💜 **Our change can make a CHANGE. Since 2015, SBU Mercy College of Health Professions has proudly joined Harmony House in the iCare Campaign, standing with our community to raise awareness about domestic violence and support survivors.

Throughout October, our classrooms will participate in a coin drive, with all funds raised going directly to Harmony House; Missouri’s largest domestic violence shelter.

For our future healthcare professionals, this message matters. Healthcare professionals may be among the first to recognize signs of abuse and have an opportunity to listen, support, and connect someone with help.

🪙All month long: Drop your change in one of our classroom iCare jars or give online:

[Donate to our SBU Mercy College iCare Campaign](https://secure.qgiv.com/event/icare2026/account/2483565/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

💜 Then, on Friday, October 30, we come together for iCare Day. Across our community, thousands will wear Ask Me Why iCare buttons and stickers, turning one simple question into an opportunity to start a conversation, raise awareness, and remind survivors that they are not alone.

Awareness starts a conversation. Community creates support. Together, we can bring hope.

Ask us why . 💜

🏠🩺 BSN First semester students in Fundamentals of Nursing class stepped into the role of home health nurses today during a low-fidelity simulation!

This is just the beginning! We’ll continue building on this simulation throughout the semester as they grow their skills, confidence, and clinical judgment. 💜 Go Bearcats!

Nutrition Week in Skills Lab! 🩺💜 These 1st semester BSN Bolivar students got hands-on with NG tubes, enteral feedings, crushing meds (Smarties, of course! 😉), and even sampled thickened liquids for a little empathy training!

Learning the skills is important, but understanding what our patients experience is just as important. 💜

And in just a few short weeks, these students will be heading out for their first clinical rotation in long-term care! 🩺💜 go Bearcats, you make us proud!

👀 Eyes, 👂 ears, 👃 nose, and throat…oh my! 🩺

Our 1st-year DPT students are starting from the top as they build foundational physical assessment skills!

Using tools like otoscopes, eye charts, and tuning forks, along with hands-on assessment techniques, students are learning to recognize normal findings, identify potential concerns, and assess the whole patient, not just the area being treated. Keep up the great work, DPT! 💜🐾
