Rehearsing the skills needed to do clinicals, senior Shinikee Garcia and Vincent Garcia check senior Michael Ennis’ pulse. Students began clinicals on Friday and will be learning the perks of being a CNA. “At first, I was nervous to go to clinicals because it’s very different interacting with a mannequin or a classmate you’ve known for a while compared to actual patients,” Garcia said. “However, when I got to the facility everyone was welcoming and the residents were really nice. The residents are all veterans who have been through a lot so it’s comforting to see a smile on their face while helping with daily activities like changing their bed.” Photo Credit: Cassandra Trummel
