"Have you ever had your blood pressure taken before?"

For my last clinical class of the semester in my nursing program we, the nursing students, held a mini health expo for the rest of the GRCC population. We took manual blood pressures of passing students. It was good to practice our skills. Most hospitals have autmatic b/p machines now, so we may not get another chance to hone this skill in another setting. Besides our expo, it didn't hurt that the culinary dept. was offering free high protien food at a table close by as an inncentive for students to particitpate. Everyone knows how college kids love FREE food and will do most anything for it!
