Updated Physicals

This is a reminder that your physical must be current. (within the last year) so if your physical was before September 08, you are out of date. Please contact your physician's office now to make an appointment. No current physical, no clinical. We will be starting clinical in October.

You will also need to get a new Tb test. We will issue the permission slips on the first day. Please have them signed and return them to school. The Mrs Thomopson will oversee the tests.

If you have any reason to object to the Tb test, a current chest x-ray will do.

:)

Seniors, you need to start thinking about whether or not you want to go out on co-op. I believe you must wait until at least mid term before you are allowed to go.

Juniors, start saving your money for the CNA exam. It is $96 to take the test. I will be glad to take even $1 at a time.

Remember Our New Name

Reminder to all that our new name is Allied Health. We changed the name of our program because the title of "Allied Health" is more well know than Health Careers.

The term , allied health, indicates professions associated within the health arena, such as nursing assistants, radiology tech, respiratory tech.... and so on. The change will also help when applying for college or a job.

This is a transition year for the new name so please do not be upset if someone still refers to us as Health Careers

:) See you soon

Summer Time

Happy Summer to All!!

I know that it is already August!! Oh my where did the time go. There have been a few changes to the shop expectations this summer so please read carefully. Remember we start classes at 7:40 am now. So..... everyone in their seats before the bell.

Everyone will be starting on Sept 9th just staggered times. Remember we start with A week.

Related classes are 7th and 8th period still this year. Juniors will have Anatomy and Physiology at that time. It is a double period.

You will receive all of your shop policies via e-mail. I am trying to save the school some $ so everything will now be electronic. (well, I hope to keep everything electronic)

More Photos

We do have fun while we work! In the first photo, we were being videoed for the new promo for SSVT. The second was during the "reception" after the CNA pinning! Just loving life!!

Almost Spring!!

These are just some candid shots from the shop!

Hello girls and boys!

Well, the time is now racing fast towards the summer. We are now in the last cycle of the second trimester. What does that mean?? It means the CNA test will be very soon for the juniors (March 26) and then the beginning of the EKG course. For the sophomores, it means that almost everybody will be doing patient care themselves, and the freshmen will learn the words to Mitch Miller and remember them FOREVER!!! Those songs will pop up every now and then, usually when you least expect it.

My precious Seniors, it is almost time for you to fly! May 29 is just around the corner. The senior presentations are during the second week in May. You will all do a great job!!

Welcome New Freshmen

We would like to welcome our new freshmen. We have 10 smiling new faces. 9 girls and one boy. They look great in their new uniforms!
They will quickly be going to South Shore Rehab and Skilled Nursing Facility for orientation and then to help with the activities with the elders.

Again Welcome!!
