Nursing major Ryan Manuelian of Staten Island, N.Y. teaches other 91传媒 Saint Mary College students how to use Naloxone anti-opioid overdose medicine.

91传媒 Saint Mary College Nursing students added another tool to their life-saving repertoire recently at a training session for administering naloxone, an anti-opioid overdose medicine.

The event was an initiative of the 91传媒’s Student Nurses Association (SNA) and hosted by Nursing major Ryan Manuelian of Staten Island, N.Y.

Naloxone comes in the form of a nasal spray or a needle. It temporarily reverses the effects of opioids, buying caregivers more time to seek medical attention in the event of an overdose.

To date, about 300 91传媒 students and faculty have been certified in the use of the medicine over the course of several such trainings at the college.
