Students assist with emergency drill |
Each year Yeagar Airport conducts an emergency drill to ensure the safety of passengers. The airport works with area first responders and volunteers to conduct the exercises to prepare both the airport and first responders for possible crisis situations. Last week, New River CTC LPN to RN bridge students participated in the training alongside Kanawha County Emergency Management, 130th Air National Guard Fire Department and law enforcement.
"This is an experience to share with my family for years to come!" said New River CTC LPN to RN student Amanda Bryant. "The bonding experience for this class was great! Not to mention, the real reason we were there to begin with, we were able to help the facility learn, train and grow from the experience. It was an awesome day!"
Planning for the student involvement with the drill was organized by New River CTC Nursing Instructor Ashley Williams and RN Program Director Duane F. Napier.
The application deadline for the college's LPN to RN bridge class starting in January has been extended to Oct. 15, 2021.
