Carson-Newman Nursing Students Help Children Lessen Fears of Doctor’s Office Visits

Children with Carson-Newman University’s Child Development Lab make new friends with C-N Nursing faculty and students during the second annual Teddy Bear Clinic. Hosted by C-N’s Nursing Department and held at the Drama and Ted Russell Center, the event allows children to bring their favorite stuffed animals and experience a doctor’s office or hospital setting to lessen fears. Children were able to examine their stuffed animal, apply bandages and band-aids and listen to heartbeats.
