Savannah, GA – The Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety has renewed Savannah Technical College’s grant ($140,571.50) for a second year (FY22) to operate the Coastal Georgia Center for Driver Safety.
Grant funds will continue to provide two core services: distracted and impaired driver prevention education for youth, young adults and parents in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, and Liberty counties. These activities include community- and school-based workshops, virtual reality simulation education, social media messaging, and the promotion of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) chapters in all of area high schools.
In the grant’s initial year (FY21), a two-hour workshop was created for families of teen drivers to educate them on the dangers of distracted driving. The workshop has been presented to nearly 400 families. Five Virtual Reality simulators were also purchased during the initial year for teenagers to experience a five-minute distracted driving experience (300+ teenagers) and a 25-minute driving experience (1,235 teenagers). The grant also developed a monthly media campaign about the dangers of distracted driving and impaired driving with a focus on young drivers. The grant also included promoting the SADD program to all 20 public high schools in the grant’s four-county service area.
Additional priorities for FY22 include focusing on reaching private school students, attending more community events, and networking with community partners and colleges.
The top five dangers for younger drivers include distractions like cell phones and passengers; driving at night (drowsiness); speeding and street racing; not wearing seat belts; and impairments like underage drinking and drugs. The goal of the Coastal Georgia Center for Driver Safety is to bring awareness to young, young adults, and parents about the dangers of distracted driving.

SAVANNAH, Ga – Nine students from the Savannah Technical College Peace Officer Academy celebrated graduating from the program with a completion ceremony on December 10, 2021. The six men and three women have completed coursework containing the entire Georgia Peace Officer Standards & Training (P.O.S.T.) Basic Law Enforcement Training Course. Their successful completion of the program qualifies them to be state-certified peace officers.
This is the 36th group of students to complete the program since its inception in 2009. To date, the program has graduated more than 400 P.O.S.T.-certified officers. Many candidates are in various stages of the application process with statewide agencies. STC’s Peace Officer Academy has a 97% placement rate in field (AY20).
Each cohort selects a fallen officer for whom the graduating class will be named. The cohorts have a tradition of giving the family of the fallen officer a challenge coin dedicated to the officer. A challenge coin is a symbol of an unbreakable bond of dedication and allegiance among military personnel and law enforcement officers. The challenge coin tradition started as a military tradition in World War I and was later adopted by law enforcement.
This cohort honors Sgt. Robert L. Linton of Richmond Hill Police Department, who lost his life due to a heart attack on May 8, 2019. Sgt. Linton had served with the agency for ten years and had previously served as a Master Mechanic before joining the department. He was survived by his wife and children.
The Basic POST Certification Technical Certificate of Credit provides students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to become competent law enforcement officers. The 11-week cohort program utilizes classroom instruction pertaining to criminal justice theory and the prevailing principles of modern law enforcement, as well as practical application of pertinent enforcement skills. College coursework contains the entire Georgia Peace Officers Standards & Training (P.O.S.T.) Basic Law Enforcement Training Course so that successful completion of the program will qualify the student to be a state-certified peace officer.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – A new scholarship for EMS and Paramedicine students has been established in Dr. Irving Victor’s memory at Savannah Technical College. Upon the passing of Dr. Victor in 2020, his longtime colleague and founder of the College’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program, Dock Donaldson, set out to establish a scholarship to honor his legacy.
“I’ve been working in this field for more than 40 years, and it wasn’t uncommon for Dr. Victor to personally attend to accident victims early on. He understood that a quick response often meant life or death for patients,” said Donaldson, Central Training Center Coordinator for American Heart Association. “Dr. Victor was instrumental in establishing one of the nation’s first EMS systems in the country, right here in Chatham County.”
Eligible STC students must be enrolled in the EMS or Paramedicine programs with a 2.7 GPA. Students must have an intent to pursue emergency medicine as a career. Two awards ($750 each) will be awarded in fall semester 2021. Students must also have demonstrated financial need and have a balance due at the time the scholarship is awarded.
Savannah Tech offers programs for Emergency Medical Services and Paramedicine Technology through its Health Sciences division. Offered at the Savannah campus and on post at the Fort Stewart Army Education Center, the EMS faculty members are practitioners as well as teachers. To learn more about EMS/Paramedicine training at Savannah Technical College, visit www.savannahtech.edu/EmergencyMedicalServices.

Learn about the role of a nurse in the healthcare industry
No segment of the economy is growing faster than the healthcare industry, and nurses have more options than ever before. If you’ve ever wondered about this career field, asked yourself “How do I become a nurse?” or been hesitant to commit to a full training program, our Explore a Career in Nursing online course is just for you.
How Can This Course Help You Determine if Nursing Is Right For You?
This course will help you discover what it takes to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN) and all the exciting and rewarding opportunities that await you in the different fields of nursing. You’ll also learn about the different types of nursing and specialties –from traditional bedside work to critical care areas, like the OR and ICU, to lesser known branches of the field, like nursing informatics. You’ll also gain information about what you can do with a graduate degree in nursing, and take a quick peek at some of the other medical positions you might be interested in, like radiology technician or physical therapist. If you’ve ever thought about nursing, now is the time to find out more!
Below we’ll explore the topics covered in the course.
In this first lesson, you’ll discover some of the many benefits of becoming a nurse. The lesson will discuss the different pathways to getting a nursing diploma or degree, and then you’ll look at the pros and cons of each. It will also talk about some things to think about before you seriously consider nursing school, like prerequisite classes and some of the skills that can help set you up for success. Got math? Are you a good multitasker? Do you like talking to other people? Great! If not, it’s never too early to start practicing!
Medical Basics This lesson is a crash course in medical basics. It will discuss some common medical acronyms and how to decode intimidating medical terminology. It will also talk about the different types of doctors, equipment, and tests that nurses encounter and then finish up with an introduction to medical math. These topics may sound scary, but this lesson will serve as a foundation to understanding the ones that follow. The information presented here can be helpful whether you plan to work in the medical field someday or just want to know a little bit more about what’s really happening when you go to the doctor.
This lesson is all about nurse training. First, you’ll take a look at exactly what happens in nursing school—from the coursework to the clinical rotations to the exams. But school is just the beginning! After graduation, there’s the NCLEX licensing exam, where you’ll demonstrate that you’ve learned enough to be a safe and competent nurse. Then, it’ll be time for your first nursing position, where you might enroll in a nurse internship or residency, or you might receive additional training in your department. By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a good idea of the different types of training you might go through on your path to becoming a nurse.
In this lesson, you’ll look at the three most common job settings for new nurses—hospital acute care, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities. You’ll learn about the different specialties you can pursue in each area, the colleagues you might work with, and what working as a nurse in these three areas is really like.
Nursing Career Fields Covered During the Course
What kind of career fields are available to nurses? We’re glad you asked. Basically, there’s a nursing specialty for everyone, whether your dream is an adrenaline-fueled job in a fast-paced emergency department or a desk job working for the government. We’ll dive into a few of the lessons we cover in our course areas below:
Many people consider emergency room (ER), operating room(OR), and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nursing the most exciting fields of nursing! This lesson will discuss what it’s really like to work in these settings—and how this compares to what you see on TV. You’ll learn how ERs triage patients, what it means to scrub or circulate in the OR, the different types of ICUs, and a whole lot more.
All fields of nursing require care and compassion. There are certain fields in nursing that require even more. This lesson will discuss psychiatric nursing, hospice nursing, case management, and health coaching. These positions are less likely to be adrenaline-fueled, but they’re rewarding in their own ways. These are careers that focus on the counseling and patient advocacy roles of nursing. The lesson will discuss psychiatric hospitals and substance abuse centers and the people you’ll work with there, as well as some of the most common tasks in working with patients who are dying and those who are looking to maintain good health and healthy practices.
This lesson is about careers that focus on the research, education, management, and change agent roles of nursing. You’ll look at research nursing, informatics nursing, and legal nurse consulting. Although most nurses working in these fields have at least a year of clinical nursing experience, none of these positions require additional certification or degrees.
What have you heard about community health nursing? This is a specialty that encompasses a variety of positions, from school nurses to prison nurses to Red Cross disaster relief nurses. Community health nurses engage in all six of the nursing roles, with heavy focus on education, patient advocacy, and being a change agent. You’ll explore what it really means to be a community health nurse by learning where you’ll work and what you might be doing.
This lesson is for wanderers! You’ll explore everything from working as a travel nurse in a neighboring town to taking to the high seas as a member of the Navy Nurse Corps. You’ll also look at medical mission work like Doctors Without Borders and Mercy Ships. If you want to use your nursing skills while seeing the world, get ready to love this lesson.
No nursing survey course would be complete without touching on pediatric and obstetric nursing. You’ll take a look at these specialties and then check out a few other nursing positions that involve working on a team instead of in a department. Finally, you’ll take a quick peek at what it means to be a charge nurse or nurse manager.
Nursing and Beyond: What’s Next After Becoming a Nurse?
This lesson is for overachievers and forward thinkers. Maybe you want to be a nurse, but you know that you’ll want to do more than basic clinical nursing. You might be thinking about teaching or hospital administration. Or perhaps you want to become a nurse practitioner or nurse anesthetist. You’ll look at all of those options in this lesson!
Still unsure if you want a career in nursing?
What if you’ve gone through this course so far and learned about nursing school and licensing exams and the different fields of nursing, but you still don’t know if nursing is right for you? That’s okay! This final lesson will recap the highs and lows of nursing and give you some ideas about alternatives to becoming a nurse. You’ll also look at some strategies for getting more information so you can be armed with the knowledge you need to make a decision.
