Knights gain experience

By Amanda Cole

On Tuesday, Nicole Fruchey’s Intro to Medical Science class took a trip to Defiance Regional Hospital. The students job-shadowed different areas of the hospital and learned how to act in a hospital setting. Fruchey’s class spent the whole day at the hospital with each student following one worker in their field. “I job shadowed a physical therapist, and I learned what they do on an everyday basis,” said Tanner Crowle.

The students had the chance to interact and get hands-on experience in the medical field. “My experience was good. I learned how you need to keep your cool in very complicated situations,” said Luke Gerardot.

The class had the chance to ask their supervisors some questions and got to really decide if this is the field they want to go in to. Junior Lance Camp said, “I took away some very important information from this trip like how it is very important to be careful in the ICU because anything could happen.” The class will continue to learn more about the health careers and human body systems as the year goes on.

In other news as the Knights began to wrap up the fall as they head into their winter days, the students will be having a Thanksgiving break next week along with parent teacher conferences. Conferences will be held Monday from noon-8 p.m., and Tuesday from 11 a.m.-7p.m.  Saturday the Lady Knights’ basketball team kicks off their season at home against Ottoville with JV tip off at 6 p.m.
