Nursing Mock Convention
Developed
in 1975, Mock Convention has provided an excellent learning opportunity
for students to explore the process of the nurse's role as change agents
in political and governmental structures. This day long simulated convention
involves all nursing students as members of either a district or the board.
Debate is held on resolutions following parliamentary procedure in the
way that an actual convention would be carried out at the state level.
Recipient of national recognition
Mock Convention has received national recognition for it's creative approach
to introducing student nurses to the political process in professional
nursing. The originator, Mervin Helmuth, associate professor of nursing,
has presented Mock Convention at a number of different conferences across
the country over the years. Mock Convention is always considered one of
the highlights for nursing students during their studies at Goshen College.
