I am excited to share an update on the enriching learning experiences happening in the Gateway to Certified Nursing Assisting (CNA) class and Introduction to Emergency Medical Services (EMS) class at our high school.
In the EMSclass, students have been immersed in the study of human anatomy. Through interactive lessons and hands-on activities, students are delving into the intricacies of the human body, gaining an understanding of its structure and function. Utilizing the Anatomage Table, students have the opportunity to work collaboratively in groups, utilizing cutting-edge technology to reinforce and expand their knowledge of human anatomy.Looking ahead, EMSstudents will be delving into medical terminology and reviewing the bedside skills learned earlier this school year.
This will provide them with a solid foundation as they prepare for future career opportunities in the healthcare field.
Meanwhile, in the CNA class, the students have been actively developing their skills and gaining valuable hands-on experience. Over the past few weeks, they have been practicing essential CNA tasks such as measuring vital signs, assisting with patient mobility, and perfecting their communication techniques with patients and healthcare professionals. In addition, students have been learning proper infection control procedures and mastering personal care skills, including bathing, dressing, and feeding residents.
Both classes will also continue with career exploration activitiesproviding students with valuable insights into potential career pathways in the healthcare industry.
I am proud of the dedication and enthusiasm demonstrated by our students in both the CNA and EMS classes, and I am confident that they will continue to excel as they pursue their academic and professional goals.
Thank you for the opportunity to share this update with the community.
