Twenty-three students participated in a program at Ohio University – Zanesville to experience what nurses do on the job. The Ohio University-Zanesville nursing department teamed up with Genesis Health Care System to present the 13th annual “So You Want to Be a Nurse?” workshop.
The program provided the opportunity for students’ to participate in some of the same types of “hands-on” activities that nurses do every day. With help from current Ohio University-Zanesville nursing students, the youth learned to take temperatures, blood pressures, and pulses. They also learned how to make hospital beds and even give an injection.
Those who completed the program are Tricia Brown and Tasha Wright of Conesville; Kristen Morris of Gratiot; Travis Staib of McConnellsville; Caitlyn Pieper of Nashport; Dominique, Mercedes and Ryne Carletti and Janette Wiseman of Somerset; and Caitlin and Theo Bugglin, Tiffany Caplinger, Paige Carpenetti, Jacob Gates, Jenna Heagen, Ebony Howard, Jocelin Howard, YaqUa Kaka, Natalie Linder, Isaac Martin, Brittany McGee, Victoria Romine, and Eddie Romito from Zanesville.
