4th Year Nursing Students Conduct Blood Pressure Clinic

Another week has come and gone, and our Kenya experience has sadly come to an end. We have had an amazing time here learning so much about culture and health care. This week we went to the Muchui Womens Group community and conducted a blood pressure clinic. Over 60 people attended both members and nonmembers. The clinic included an educational session on how to maintain and lower ones blood pressure. Each person took home a booklet which included tips on lowering blood pressure and a place to record their blood pressure regularly. This public awareness was largely receipted and was accessible to many people who otherwise may have not had their blood pressure taken. Having the opportunity as fourth year nursing students to practice in Kenya has been a huge learning curve and an unforgettable month.
