Memorial Hospital is proud to welcome a new group of nursing students from Western Illinois University as they begin their clinical rotations. Memorial Hospital is grateful to have the opportunity to work with students as they gain valuable real-world patient care knowledge and experience.
During the course of the semester, students will have the opportunity to provide total care for patients of all ages and backgrounds under the guidance of Memorial Hospital staff. Complete patient care includes assisting with bathing and medications, calling providers, checking vital signs, assessments, and more.
The nursing staff at Memorial Hospital truly believes that hands-on clinical experiences are critical to any nursing education. They are committed to providing students with the resources and support needed to succeed and become compassionate nurses. By providing nursing students with the opportunity to learn from experienced medical professionals in a real-world setting, Memorial Hospital is helping to prepare the next generation of healthcare leaders.
Memorial Hospital is also the host site for the West Central Illinois Area Health Education Centers (AHEC). West Central Illinois AHEC partners with universities and healthcare organizations to promote health careers, enrich learning environments, and provide professional development opportunities for students. These activities support their goal of achieving equitable health professionals and services distributed throughout the communities and regions in Illinois and nationwide.
