Rampart Range Campus was pleased to host Ms. Vasquez’ 4th grade class from Bristol Elementary School on January 28. Geri Tierney, RN, ONC, and PPCC Nursing Sim Lab coordinator, had previously visited Bristol Elementary and delivered a presentation on bones and bone health to the class, giving them an assignment to complete. The 4th graders then came to PPCC to bring their completed assignment, and tour the campus.

The group visited the Dental Clinic, where Amy Reed gave them some good advice on oral care. Dave Walters in the Cisco computer networking lab demonstrated some of his equipment for students interested in Information Technology fields. The students then visited the Nursing Simulation Lab, where they interacted with PPCC Nursing students, learned about the activity of the human heart, and got to listen to live heart sounds.

Tierney would like to thank everyone involved, especially Bill Leitheiser and Public Safety, for making this a memorable experience for all.
