Ohio Northern University’s nursing program seeks to produce nurses who are effective caregivers and problem-solvers in the face of any challenge.

To that end, every fall semester the program collaborates with the broader community to stage a simulation of a drug overdose/potential sexual assault case for its senior nursing students.

If a scenario is unsettling or even shocking, it’s all the more reason to first encounter it in a safe learning environment versus under pressure while on the job, said Megan Lieb, associate professor of nursing.

“Our goal is to give our students a lot of different experiences in the tool kit to draw upon,” she explained.
