On Monday, April 14th several Prescott students spent the morning job shadowing health care professionals at Providence/St. Mary's Hospital in Walla Walla. Jose Garcia worked as a Surgical Nurse. Irma Serratos gained experience as a Physical Therapist. Ariana Quiroz spent time in Labor and Delivery. Juri Udave and Yesi Eulloqui helped in Imaging with MRI's, CT Scans, and X-rays, and Ana Campos spent time in the hospital lab. The experience was designed to reinforce their desire to pursue careers in health care or determine that it was not a good fit for them. We want to thank Selena Duran, Prescott Class of 2015, and St. Mary's RN for visiting with us during lunch and answering student questions.

The students observed industry application of math principles, engineering concepts, robotic technology, and automated welding techniques. The visit allowed these students interested in pursuing careers in robotics, engineering, and computer science to interact with professionals in those fields.

Juri and Kenya spent time with Walla Walla County clerk, Kathy Martin; observed the civil court docket of Judge Fulton; and observed a criminal case in Judge Johnson's courtroom.
