Shawsheen Tech nurse and teacher save man s life at graduation

Wicked Local As the Shawsheen Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School class of 2021 prepared to walk one last time out onto the football field to graduate they had no idea the life of a graduate s family member in the process of being saved on that same turf. Six-minutes. This is how long it takes to reverse the damage that starts after the body begins to lose oxygen after a heart attack, according to Shawsheen Health Assisting Instructor Karen Meister, RN BSN. Meister knows this not only from years of teaching, but from practical experience as a critical care nurse, and put her know-how to the test on Thursday, June 3, when a man collapsed in the minutes prior to graduation.

Billerica s Shawsheen Tech hosts girls in trade conference

Wicked Local Traditionally the trades such as automotive and plumbing have been male-dominated fields, with women slowly making their way into shops and garages over the decades. This has also been the case at Shawsheen Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School, and support for girls in these trades has been bolstered with events like their most recent virtual Massachusetts Girls in Trades conference. The fourth annual gathering showcased girls in automotive, carpentry, electrical, HVAC, masonry, plumbing, and other male-dominated fields and how female contribution to these shops is not only valuable but critical to the future. Massachusetts Girls in Trades was launched in 2015 by a partnership of educational, governmental, and union organizations with a shared goal of supporting and encouraging female career and technical education students and alumnae to pursue careers in the union building trades, according to its brochure.
