The Ciudad Real II Health Center celebrated Nursing Day with an open house event for the community. The initiative combined a healthy walk with practical workshops, aiming to promote active lifestyle habits and highlight the role of these professionals in primary care. Residents of all ages joined the activity.
Workshops with data and apps for self-care 📊
During the event, the nursing team set up stations for measuring blood pressure, capillary blood glucose, and body mass index. They explained the use of apps for tracking steps and heart rate, as well as cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques using simulation mannequins. The guided 45-minute walk through the nearby park served as a practical demonstration of the benefits of moderate and regular physical activity.
What they don't tell you about the nursing walk ☕
All very healthy and uplifting, until you realize the walk ends right in front of the center's cafeteria door. The same people who measured your blood pressure and advised you to avoid sugar look at you knowingly as you order a coffee with condensed milk. Ironies of life: health has office hours, but vice opens whenever it wants.
