HOYA 1 Feb. Article
Over the past three weeks in HOYA, students have been learning about the different body systems, as well as the acute and chronic conditions associated with each system. As part of this unit, all students participated in a hands-on project where they created a model to share with the class during a presentation. Each model either demonstrated the system's function or highlighted its structures and organs. I was truly impressed with the creativity and effort put into these projects—everyone did a great job!
Moving forward, we will begin learning about emergency care and the role of the CNA in various emergencies. Topics will include responding when a resident passes out, experiences shock, has a bleeding injury, or is exposed to poisoning, to name a few. We will also be reviewing CPR, choking response, and overall emergency preparedness.
Clinicals are going very well. Students are settling into their sites, gaining valuable hands-on experience, and showing noticeable improvement. It has been great to see their confidence and skills continue to grow.
Thank you for your continued support of our HOYA students!
