Krug's currently exploring collaboration opportunities with the Nursing department at WCCC to give her students practical applications of their reading and writing exercises. The Nursing department has various patient simulation exercises; Krug's students, many of whom aspire to the Nursing program, would be responsible for reading a patient's chart for comprehension, executing a simulation of a patient emergency, and then writing up a detailed account of everything that transpired. "This type of cross-collaboration helps students realize why it matters...it's not just all theoretical," explains Krug.
