Director Takes Education to a Whole New Level!

Platt Central’s very own director took education to a whole new level today when he agreed to let the Surgical Technologist students “ shave and prep” him for surgery.  Students are required to perform this procedure during their program and since there are no gentlemen in their class they decided to present their dilemma to Joey Keefer.  Their idea: as a fundraiser for JDRF, they would collect money from students and staff that would like to witness Joey having his chest “prepped and shaved” for a mach surgery.  Joey, thinking that this was a little too much immediately said “no”, but after a little thought, he decided that he would “take one for the team” and agreed, with the stipulation that the students would have to raise $200.  Well, as you can see, raising the money was not a problem, it seems as though people are willing to shell out the bucks when it comes to having a little fun at the expense of the campus director.

Where the Rubber hits the ground!

Practical Nursing Freshmen students were putting their knowledge of mobility aids to good use when they had a relay race using crutches and walkers.  Each student had the opportunity to use crutches or a walker to sprint across the Platt Central lawn and help their team to victory.   Fun was had by all and no bumps or broken bones occurred during the skills lab activity.

National Nurses Week

Platt College North honored our Nursing students for National Nurses Week by giving them a pizza party on Thursday afternoon.  We appreciate the hard work the students put in to their schooling as well as those that are out in the field right now.

Central Oklahoma Heart Walk

For the past several months Platt North, Platt Central, Platt Lawton, and Platt Moore have dedicated their time to raise money to benefit the American Heart Assocaition. The fundraisers were a huge success, and we were able to raise approximatley $3800. We greatly appreciate everyone that donated their time and effort to help make the fundraisers such a succes.

New Dental Assistant students jump right in...on their second morning of classes they are already learning how to take impressions.  Learning the proper technique of mixing the solution and then setting the impression in their own mouth or some other lucky volunteer.
