The NWTC SNA students also
participate in multiple other service
projects on an annual basis, such
as the Apple a Day fundraiser
educating the campus on health
and nutrition and hosting campus-
wide family movie nights.
According to Albers, “It was important
to take this time to volunteer
not just because we had to put in
hours, but to also provide for our
community in a way that nurses
know best. Volunteering your time is
important because it shows you are
putting the patient first. Hopefully,
these blankets will provide care and
comfort to the children receiving
them, but also for the families
knowing that there are people to
take the time out of the day to care
for their child they never knew.”
