do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.

Vivian Funez - CCSN Classifed Employee for April
LIVE AND IN COLOR
Hats off to Lawrence Roney, Gary Cook, Kody Kearns and the team of electronic wizards from communications and telemedia services for their "Yankee Ingenuity". They succeeded in broadcasting the inaugural webcast of live streaming Internet video of the Board of Regents meetings Apr. 18 - 19 from our Henderson campus. Summaries of Board actions will appear in the next edition of the NewsWEB.

EMS PREPS FOR ACCREDITATION VISIT
CCSN's Emergency Medical Services program is Nevada's only degree granting full-time program for the industry. According to director Dr. Chris Nollette, after a self-study and site evaluation in June, the program should be accredited by September. "We will be the Harvard of EMS education in the state, meeting the highest national standards and producing competent entry-level EMS professionals," said Dr. Nollette. "There are 334 programs nation-wide which meet the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Educational Programs standards and we plan to be number 335."

By taking the lead to standardize emergency care and promote quality care, CCSN has gained strong local support. Nevada State Senator Ray Rawson is sponsoring a Paramedic Licensure Bill that will enhance EMS practice in Nevada. CCSN's EMS Advisory Board consists of Sunrise, Desert Springs, Summerlin, UMC, Valley Health Care, Mountain View and St. Rose Dominican hospitals. The college's EMS partners include the fire departments of Clark County, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Mesquite and Pahrump, as well as the Clark County Health District, Nevada Health Department, American Medical Response and South West Private EMS Providers.

"September 11th showed the critical need and value of highly trained and educated professions in EMS," said Senator Rawson. Assemblyman Dennis Nolan will join the faculty to educate EMS students on the medical and legal aspects of emergency medicine in Nevada. CCSN currently trains 350 students per semester and is turning others away. "This fall, the program will hire more faculty to accommodate 450 students, including some coming from California, Utah, Washington and Texas to train for EMS jobs in their states," said Dr. Nollette.

The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians has approved CCSN as a testing site for national certification, which will open this summer. With this certificate, EMS graduates can begin working as EMT-basic, EMT-intermediate, or EMT-paramedic in 42 states, including Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
