So proud of our nursing students for getting out into the community and putting their skills to use! They had the chance to complete health screenings for local 3K–4K students while gaining some great hands-on service-learning experience along the way.

Instructor Bryan's 4th semester clinical group participated in a "Stop the Bleed" presentation by one of Ascension's longtime ER nurses. The students learn how to respond and intervene in a situation where life threatening bleeding is occurring. They learn how to cover and pack wounds, and even how to apply tourniquets. After completing the training, they officially become certified as a participant in the course for 2 years. Such a great experience and what a great thing for them to have on their resumes!
