OHS Patient Care Technician students were able to get an in depth look at the Lamar University Nursing Department and campus this week. Along with learning about the in's and out's of the nursing program and application process, students also got a tour of the building which included a stop at their state of the art simulation lab. Students were able to get hands-on practice, listening to breath sounds and palpating pulses, as well as view a simulation in progress. Thank you to Lamar Nursing for welcoming us and inspiring these future leaders in healthcare!
2018 OHS graduate, Zach Patronis, a Business Analyst for Motiva, spoke to Business Information Management students today. He shared with students his path from OHS to Lamar to his current career and how BIM classes provided him with the foundation he needed for success. Thank you Zach for sharing your experiences and inspiring our students to chase their career goals with an open mind and a drive for innovation.

Guest speakers from Christus Orange and the Port Arthur Fire Department visited with Health Science classes on Monday. Angela Webb, RN, and Jeremy Kaskos, PAFD Captain, shared information on heart function and statistics on CPR survival rates. Students got hands-on practice of both adult and infant chest compressions, as well as the opportunity to learn about a new technology that is currently beginning to be used in our area. The PAFD has a device called an AutoPulse that is used as part of resuscitative measures for patients undergoing cardiac arrest. The machine is able to provide chest compressions that are more effective than manual compressions and has been proven to increase survival rates following sudden cardiac arrest. The students were excited to learn about this device and see it in action.
