First year students in Nursing Techniques 1301 took over the NDC library hallway today to offer blood pressure and pulse checks for students, faculty, and staff. Split into two sections, one group in the morning and one in the afternoon, the students provided these important health checks, under the supervision of RNs.

The exercise gave students an opportunity to practice their skills in more of a real world situation, rather than the skills lab. In addition to practicing the technical skills, students were also able to communicate and interact with a diverse community.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by! Not only was it good for your health, but it was great practice for our students!

Research is an integral part of the Nursing Department. From Research and Innovation Day, to an instructor writing group, to publications, the instructors in the Nursing Department continue to show their passion for and commitment to research.

We were pleased to welcome 11 students to Red River Teacher Education for the morning of Thursday March 23rd.  It was such a pleasure to meet some of our youth as excited about learning as we are about teaching!  Thank you to Raman Job from MTS for providing us with the wonderful movie about the day.
