Carroll County Area Technology Center Principal Mackenzie Wright had a different experience recently when she traded her principalās office for a hospital bed!
Mrs. Wright volunteered to be the āpatientā while CCATC nursing students practiced the skills needed to change an occupied hospital bed. That meant getting tucked in, rolled around and repositioned while the future nurses put their training to work.
The ladies did a great job, and Mrs. Wright was a very good sport.
