Our instructor Goran Benkek conducted four Arduino workshops for primary school teachers as part of the “Bjelovar Robotics Center” project. The project beneficiary is the Bjelovar-Bilogora County Association of Computer Scientists, and the project partners are the IV Primary School Bjelovar and Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences. The workshops were held in our Laboratory for Electronics, Measurements, and Process Computers.
As part of the Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences Days, four interesting public training sessions were held:
On February 15, 2023, a lecture was held as part of the lifelong learning program for nurses and technicians, accredited by the Croatian Chamber of Nurses, on the topic “Health Tourism and Its Impact on Nursing.” The lecture was delivered by Sabina Bis, university graduate in administrative sanitation, a lecturer at our Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences. We thank the participants for their great interest and involvement in the engaging discussions.
On January 18, 2023, the first lecture as part of the lifelong learning program for nurses and technicians was held at Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences on the topic: “COVID-19 – Current Insights.” The lecture was delivered by our dean, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zrinka Puharić, MD. We thank the participants for their constructive discussion and look forward to meeting again in February. The plan for lifelong learning for nurses, which will be held at Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences in 2023, can be found on the Croatian Chamber of Nurses’ website: https://bit.ly/vub-hkms2023.
On January 14, 2023, a course on “Basic Life Support with the Use of an Automated External Defibrillator” was held at our university. It was very dynamic, dramatic, and emotional. Our students successfully revived all the residents of our Nursing Skills Practice Room: mannequins from child to adult age. 🙂 Everything that seemed simple through the story, we concluded, is actually exhausting and demanding in practice.
We would like to thank our lecturers and demonstrators, top national instructors Marijana Bebek, Mirela Vogrinec, and Luka Zlogleđi, for their selfless sharing of knowledge and experience. To help ease the students’ nerves, our instructor Marijana Bebek told the students: “You came to the course, but imagine this as a playroom.” Thank you to our students for their active participation, numerous questions, and persistence in resuscitation. Today, you demonstrated knowledge (and knowledge is power), and you demonstrated skills (and skills are the strength of power).
