The ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ Nursing Program sent two faculty members (Amanda Shaw and Chrystal Brown) and 33 nursing students from the LVN and RN programs volunteer at the Heart Health Fair at Titus Regional Medical Center on Saturday, March 5th. ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ students had the opportunity to help the staff draw blood, take blood pressures, check glucose levels, and make the community feel welcome at the event.  The nursing program was fortunate to be invited and get to participate in this wonderful occasion and we look forward to participating again next year.
