Middle schoolers in Hall County are getting a little help from the nursing students at North Georgia College & State University. In September, more than 100 middle-school students in Hall County Schools were certified in CPR with the help of the associate in nursing degree program out of North Georgia, building on a 10-year partnership. “Service in the community is particularly valuable for new nursing students as they learn the various roles of nursing and experience diverse environments for care,” said Patti Simmons, nursing program coordinator.
