Grayson County Road Closure To Replace Drainage Pipes

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will be replacing drainage pipes along a Grayson County road next week. Transportation Cabinet maintenance crews will be working along a section of KY 736 also known as Cave Creek Road between Cave Creek Lane and KY 110 Bluebird Road. “We try to do a lot of this work in segments where if we have to disturb a road, that we do it all kind of in one package. So that’s what we’re doing (this week there) with this particular section of road,” said Transportation Cabinet Spokesperson Chris Jessie. Closures are scheduled to start on Monday and run through Thursday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM on those days. Local access will be maintained from each respective end of the pipe replacement. Of course weather could alter the work schedule so those who travel through the area are encouraged to monitor Transportation Cabinet District 4 social media for updates.

ECTC Nursing Program Receives State Of The Art Mannequin For Training

The Elizabethtown Community and Technical College’s nursing program has received a state of the art labor and delivery training mannequin. The mannequin named Victoria is able to simulate up to nine true-to-life labor and delivery experiences so students can develop skills needed to provide safe effective care for early pregnancy complications, high-risk deliveries and more. Victoria and her baby allow for simulation so students can make mistakes without hurting anyone and be able to learn from those mistakes. Victoria also can help train respiratory care students with breath and cardiac rhythms, intubation scenarios and airway sounds synchronized to breathing patterns. The Kentucky Healthcare Workforce Collaborative provided funding for the mannequin as well as other funding for the college’s Innovation in Healthcare Initiative.
