Caring Connections Across Bladen County

Today, students from Mrs. Todd’s and Mrs. Hinson’s Nurse Aide I classes shared a little fall joy with the residents at the local nursing home by delivering handmade cards for the Fall Festival.

A heartfelt thank you to the Health Science classes at East Bladen and West Bladen High Schools, and to Mrs. Jones’s class, for creating these beautiful cards. The residents were all smiles and shared how much they loved and appreciated each one.

This partnership shows the power of compassion and community—our students learning the importance of care, kindness, and connection.

The students are smiling and wearing scrubs in various colors, including blue, black, burgundy, and pink. The handmade cards feature pumpkins, scarecrows, and festive fall images, symbolizing their outreach project to share joy and kindness with local seniors.
Our Health Science II class has been learning about infection control. Today, students demonstrated their skills by checking off on donning and doffing PPE.

Proper donning (putting on) and doffing (removing) of Personal Protective Equipment are critical procedures that protect healthcare workers, patients, and others from exposure to infectious agents and hazardous materials. Following correct procedures helps ensure maximum protection and prevents cross-contamination.
