Last one and I will be caught up! Here are my students at the Junior Achievement Career Day back in late September. We started a new strategy of having our little baby simulator at our table! I know everyone loves the pig lungs, but there were too many participants to monitor! The real life infant and newer real life intubation adult was pretty popular. Hopefully you noticed and love the new pop-up banner!

I want to give a shout out to the Class of 2024 for their 100% CRT pass rate. It has been a while… They are one step away from getting that huge shout out I keep pushing each class to get. I hope that motivates past and future graduates to keep working on the goals they set as students.
And remember to keep moving the profession forward by being a member of the AARC.
