THE CLASSES ARE SMALL, BUT WHAT'S LEARNED IN THAT CLASSROOM COULD SAVE A LIFE.
LINDA HEMPEL, IS INSTRUCTING STUDENTS ON THE BASICS OF FIRST AID AND FIRST RESPONSE CARE. THE CLASSES COVER SEVERAL AREAS OF MEDICAL CARE, FROM LEARNING ALL THE BODY PARTS.....TO ADMINISTERING AN IV TO A PATIENT.
<"In all of these different systems that we study, it helps the students decide if they want to go into a specific field. Do I want to go into respiratory. Do I want to go into radiology."say Linda Hempel, who Teaches Health Science Classes at Cuero High School
<"I feel like at first, I did'nt want to do anything in Nursing, but now I feel like I do. And I want to just follow her and do what she has done.">Aubrey Holt\Student
<"She does'nt just stand up in front of the class and give us a work book and tell us what we learning today. She lets us do hands on skills and to me that helps us learn more.">Danielle Bustos\Student
BEFORE BECOMING A TEACHER AT CUERO HIGH SCHOOL LINDA HEMPEL WAS A NURSE FOR 30 YEARS, NOW SHE USES HER EXPERIENCE TO GUIDE STUDENTS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
<"Miss Hempel, she's more hands on. She helps you. She's more like an inspiration. She's not scared to just help you. She tells you that you can. She's encouraging, she's very sweet and helps us out.">Kayla Merklinger\Student
<"Some people don't experience it and it's very cool to hear the heart beat or hear the way people breath. And it's very helpful when you go into the medical field to know what it's like and how it sounds. And it's really cool that she teaches us that so so we know.">Candice Espinoza\Student]
<"Nursing has been my first love and I've also wanted to teach, so I've got the best of both worlds....It's so satisfying to know you've made a difference, so that's what really keeps me going.">Linda Hempel\Educator Of The Week
