The Foundation of Quality Care

At St. Bernadine, we believe that theoretical knowledge must be matched by impeccable practical skills. Clinical skills are the hands-on actions that healthcare professionals perform to diagnose, treat, and care for patients. Mastering these skills is crucial for patient safety and effective treatment outcomes.

Vital Signs Monitoring

Accurately measuring and interpreting blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. These distinct signs are the first indicators of a patient's physiological status and are critical in detecting acute changes.

Phlebotomy & IV Therapy

Techniques for safe blood collection and intravenous catheter insertion. Our training emphasizes vein selection, infection control, and minimizing patient discomfort, ensuring specimens are collected correctly for lab analysis.

Patient Care & Hygiene

Assisting patients with activities of daily living (ADLs), including bathing, dressing, and mobility. We focus on maintaining patient dignity and preventing complications such as pressure ulcers through proper positioning and skin care.

EKG Interpretation

Setting up electrocardiogram leads and interpreting rhythms. Students learn to identify normal sinus rhythm as well as life-threatening arrhythmias that require immediate intervention.

Infection Control

Rigorous adherence to aseptic techniques, hand hygiene, and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Protecting both the patient and the provider from infectious agents is a cornerstone of modern medical practice.
