Yesterday our nursing class got to help at the Pepsi Health Fair, downtown on Alaksa Highway. We were split into 2 shifts and we were there to take the worker's blood pressure and talk to them about their BMI, lifestyle, activity level, etc. They had a delicious lunch ready for us, and after they finished their presentations we got to mingle with the workers to see if we could convince anybody to get checked :) Of course the majority was macho men who, "just had it checked" or whole BP "was perfect" or simply turned in the other direction when they saw someone in a white coat coming towards them :) But I did get to check a few peoples, and now I believe in the White Coat Syndrome - when their BP goes up when getting checked by a Dr. but no where else...
But we did get to meet the Vice President of Pepsi and got our picture taken with him
A mini photo shoot on the balcony lol we were stoked to be in our "Professional attire"
Krista is the PA on 5th East, the floor I lived on last year :) We sat at the same table at the fair and now have lots of stories to tell!
We are having our house warming party tonight so our friends can see where we live - pics to come of that later :)
