Eight students in the Practical Nursing Program at the Devens campus recently volunteered to take blood pressure at an Open House at the John R. Briggs Elementary School in Ashburnham, supervised by instructors Dianne Hunt and Collene Thaxton. The following quotes are from the students who participated in the event:
