In today’s world and environment, schools need to adapt to challenging times, and student’s needs pretty quickly. At FVI School of Nursing and Technology, we understand and embrace this concept. That is why we adapted and evolved into hybrid learning in our Nursing, Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, and Patient Care Technician programs.
Hybrid learning is basically a mixture of 2 things. Hybrid learning is a way of combining traditional classroom experiences, experiential learning objectives, and digital course delivery that emphasizes using the best option for each learning objective.
Due to CODIV-19, we are currently unable to be on campus all the time. The safety of our students, faculty, and team members is our priority. So we all had to move to work and study remotely. All classes are happening online, but there’s one aspect that is vital to the learning process at FVI. It’s a hands-on learning experience. Which is why those experiences need to happen on campus. No matter what anyone tells you, hands-on learning is the best way to learn a skill like Phlebotomy, EKG, Vital Signs, amongst many others.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In most Allied Health programs, including Nursing, Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, and Patient Care Technician, 100% online learning is not enough. An allied health education program that is focused on student outcomes and success will also provide hands-on learning. There is no substitution for actually performing skills on a live person or medical manikin. Before taking a certification such as the CCMA (Certified Clinical Medical Assistant) or CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), you want to be confident in your knowledge and ability to demonstrate the skills you have learned. If you have only performed skills virtually you are at a disadvantage.
Benefits of providing hands-on learning in our Nursing, Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, and Patient Care Technician programs include:
