    A Day in the Life of a Nurse Manager

    A Day in the Life of a Nurse Manager

      As we celebrate Nurses Month, we at USAHS wanted to get a sense of what a typical workday is like for a nurse manager. We asked alum Ahnnya Slaughter, DNP, to tell us all about a day in her life. Dr. Slaughter graduated in 2021 from USAHS’ Doctor of Nursing Practice program, the Nurse Executive role specialty. Coming from a military family, she began working at a VA hospital in the Los Angeles area 30 years ago as a critical care RN. “Veterans deserve the best care,” she says. “My calling wasn’t to be in the military. This is my way of being able to serve the country.” Over the years, she worked her way up, through positions such as informatics specialist, deputy nurse executive, and director of clinical staff development. She began Read more

      Why study with USAHS in St. Augustine?

      Immerse yourself in history.

      In the historic St. Augustine, Florida, colonial Spain is still alive in centuries-old architecture, cobblestone streets, and lamp-lit pubs. Take a tour, just eight minutes away from the university, of the Historic District’s many notable buildings including the mission-style cathedral, the Oldest House, and three military forts (Castillo de San Marcos, Fort Matanzas, and Fort Mose). Excellent museums like the Lightner Museum and Maritime Museum, as well as cultural festivals abound, as do boutiques, galleries, bistros, wineries, and cozy cafés.

      Broaden your job opportunities.

      USAHS has been known and respected in the community since 1997, and our graduates are working across a diversity of local healthcare organizations. Our undergraduate students benefit from access to an on-campus health science career services advisor, a current job board, two annual job fairs, a writing center, and complimentary counseling and tutoring services at our college in St Augustine, FL.

      Connect with your surroundings.

      At our university in St Augustine, FL, our degree programs are flexible—affording you the time to take a breath and explore the natural environment. Visit a protected wildlife sanctuary or the St. Augustine Alligator Farm, chill out on the beach in summer, take a fishing expedition, or play volleyball by the pier.

      State-of-the-art on-campus resources

      Centers for Innovative Clinical Practice

      Students in our physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology programs practice using state-of-the-art technology in our Centers for Innovative Clinical Practice. Located on all USAHS campuses, our CICPs are immersive learning laboratories that mimic a variety of clinical spaces and home settings.

      ADL Simulation Lab

      Watch students in our occupational therapy programs use assistive devices tailored to each scenario as they work with mock patients on daily living skills, such as getting in and out of a bathtub and brushing their teeth.

      Driving Simulator

      Our driving simulators are built with actual car parts, including a six-speed transmission and a force-feedback steering wheel. Video monitors play simulations, so the user feels like they’re really driving. Our OT students use this tool to assess patients’ reaction speeds and visual perception, and to help patients build or rebuild their driving skills.

      3D Printers

      Our 3D printers enable you to design and build customized assistive technology for patients. Using technology and your own inspiration, you can create orthotics, prosthetics, and other devices that could make a patient’s sports life or daily life a little bit easier. You can even work with patients to create individualized devices.

      BTE PrimusRS

      This rehabilitation and exercise machine enables you to gather real-time, objective data on patient movement. Using functional attachments, the BTE measures different types of movement—such as opening a door, steering a car, and playing certain sports. It’s a powerful tool for gauging patient progress and assessing how well your interventions are working.

      Double Robot

      Double Robotics’ telepresence robot enables a remote healthcare provider to communicate with a patient through a movable robot with an iPad. You can practice remote consultations, such as moving the robot around a hospital bed and angling it to assess the patient’s wound. For the patient, the robot offers a closer analogue to a human presence than does a static screen.

      Anatomage Table

      These anatomy visualization tables display fully segmented 3D human anatomy via a fully interactive touchscreen experience. You can see realistic views inside the human body by selecting different planes and cross-sections. You can query structures, save the information inside a USB drive, and study the visualizations in more depth at home.
