RVHS HOSA students were on hand at the Longleaf Middle School Career Fair on Friday, October 24th. In the picture, Blazer Tyesha McDaniel explains gloving to 6th grade students. Gloving is the correct medical way to put on gloves to create a barrier when handling a patient and their bodily fluids. Correct hand washing is for 15-20 seconds and involves a very specific procedure. Both these basic practices help to keep infection and the spread of germs under control in hospitals. The middle school students asked our HOSA students about their career aspirations and the direction they were planning on going. All of the students asked several questions regarding the concern over the Ebola virus, and how basic hand washing and gloving can help avoid the spread of this virus.
