Kelli graduated from Certified Nurses Assistance school last week. It was a short class, 4 weeks. The reason she took this class is because she needs 2000 patient care hours before she can apply to PA school. This will allow her to work over the next 3 years of college to get the hours she needs.
Here she is with Molly, one of her instructors getting her certificate. She still has to take the test to be officially certified.
During the four weeks, she learned how to give baths, take pulses, temperatures and blood pressures.
She also learned about empathy and what it was like for older people who are in wheelchairs. In the above picture she had to wear a diaper for the class.
She did her clinicals at a local nursing home where she got to help take care of real patients.
This was her favorite manniquen!!
