Health Science Theory students practice watermelon surgery

Health Science Theory students enjoyed putting their knowledge of donning and doffing PPE and sterile technique to the test with a watermelon "surgery". The students were grouped into surgical teams which included a chief surgeon, charge nurse, surgical techs, materials management, and record keeper. They worked together to methodically place rubber bands around their patient until it exploded. One of the watermelons took a whopping 916 rubber bands to burst!
