CONWAY — Nine nurses went back to school on Thursday and gave students in the health science technology program in the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center at Kennett High School a rare glimpse into the medical field.
Registered nurses Bridget Giglio, Francesca Priestman, Theresa Morgan, Theresa Harrison, Marta Ramsey, Troy Shellhammer, Jessica Larkin, Ben Miller and Kristen West are taking an advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) class through the hospital, and the Eagles, led by instructor Tom Bruno, are hosting it.
