Orono, ME -- May 5, 2017 -- Nursing students in a mock hospital receive a "victim" from a shooting scenario. The University of Maine Nursing School and University Volunteer Ambulance Service (UVAC) simulated an active shooter event on campus Friday to help prepare nursing students and student EMTs for the worst. The mock shooting scenario took place in the field house. "Victims" where evaluated and given triage tags then transported to a mock hospital where nursing students would decide how to treat them in the wake of a mock mass shooting on campus.
