You will be trained in taking vital signs, obtaining specimens, observing and reporting information.  LNAs can work in settings such as long term care facilities, home health care, or clinics and hospitals, under the supervision of an LPN or RN. 

This popular program incorporates online summer work in theory, pre-clinical training at KRHS, and clinical practice at New London Hospital.  Students will take their LNA exam, undergo fingerprinting and background checks, and apply for their LNA license, with support from the ELO coordinators and community partners.

Getting to Y

This ELO began as an activity at KRMS, then came to KRHS per student request.  A core team receives training & support to bring meaning to the local Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) data on topics such as substance use behaviors & student experiences.

Students organize events to inform & gather input from their peers & community with the data.

Action steps are created to address the strengths/concerns discussed, all with the aim of discovering what youth and partners can learn from YRBS school data to inform, develop, & implement action plans to create sustainable change within the school and community?
