NEW LONDON — Superintendent Winfried Feneberg is pleased to announce that six Kearsarge Regional High School students graduated from its Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) Program.
The LNA program requires qualified juniors or seniors to complete 120 hours of course work, both online and in-person. This includes classroom instruction in theory training and pre-clinical skills. Students then complete clinical training twice a week at New London Hospital.
The graduates — Sophie Anderson, Ava Bidlack, Maria Blanchette, Lily Chapman, Molly Finnegan, and Piper Moran — received a certificate and pin during a ceremony on Jan. 4.
“The program allows students to participate during the school day, which allows them to participate in sports and clubs or go to work,” Smith said. “I enjoy watching students learn skills, then use them in real-life situations. We showed up to New London Hospital on the first day with a lot of nerves, and by the end we all knew what to do and how to find out what patients needed.”
For the second consecutive year, all Kearsarge graduates passed written and practical components on the state board test and will receive LNA licenses. One student already has started working as an LNA
Superintendent Feneberg thanks New London Hospital, which provided funding for this year’s program.
“We are always impressed when students find their passion to help others,” said Superintendent Feneberg. “I am proud of their commitment to this program and look forward to following their future growth.”
