<v ->Well, my name is Doctor Jeanette Lupinacci.</v>

00:00:02.800 --> 00:00:05.930
I am from the greater Danbury community area.

3
00:00:05.930 --> 00:00:07.710 line:15% 
Currently working at Western Connecticut

00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:10.110 line:15% 
State University, in the Department of Nursing.

5
00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:14.890 line:15% 
I am a, undergraduate coordinator in our nursing program,

6
00:00:14.890 --> 00:00:18.300 line:15% 
so what that means is that I basically

7
00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:21.913 line:15% 
help to place students in the clinical setting.

8
00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:25.360 line:15% 
Also, work closely with the department chair

9
00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:27.720 line:15% 
in addressing any student issues or concerns

10
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:30.840 line:15% 
that they might have, either in class or in clinical.

11
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:35.840
As a coordinator helping to secure like

12
00:00:35.900 --> 00:00:39.340
clinical spots in various clinical agencies

13
00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:41.580
that are throughout the state of Connecticut,

14
00:00:41.580 --> 00:00:44.020
and where we have contracts.

15
00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:46.330
Work on developing some of those relationships,

16
00:00:46.330 --> 00:00:51.310
trying to get some new clinical sites if we can,

17
00:00:51.310 --> 00:00:55.770 line:15% 
asking for contracts, making sure, another role

18
00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:58.080 line:15% 
that I do too is to make sure that students

19
00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:01.460 line:15% 
are abiding by the rules and regulations

20
00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:02.880 line:15% 
of being able to go to clinical.

21
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.320 line:15% 
So, making sure that background checks

22
00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:08.210
have been completed, health requirements

23
00:01:08.210 --> 00:01:09.820
have been fulfilled.

24
00:01:09.820 --> 00:01:14.130
I work as an associate professor at WestConn.

25
00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:15.940
I teach primarily in the undergraduate program,

26
00:01:15.940 --> 00:01:19.530
but also a little bit in the graduate program.

27
00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:22.330
So, you know, we're teaching them the basics.

28
00:01:22.330 --> 00:01:24.890 line:15% 
How to develop relationship with the patient,

29
00:01:24.890 --> 00:01:28.470 line:15% 
how to do basic care with patients,

30
00:01:28.470 --> 00:01:31.780 line:15% 
how to start planning care for them

31
00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:34.630 line:15% 
as far as treatment plans, or working closely

32
00:01:34.630 --> 00:01:36.730
with the physician and why that's important,

33
00:01:36.730 --> 00:01:40.790
and how to collaborate with multidisciplinary types

34
00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:42.840
of team members, physical therapists,

35
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.650
occupational therapists, speech therapists,

36
00:01:45.650 --> 00:01:46.483
and that kind of stuff.

37
00:01:46.483 --> 00:01:49.680
And we're showing them the didactic portion,

38
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.799
but then also embedding the clinical portion

39
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.793
into it so that they get to kind of practice.
