Welcome Back

Special points of interest:  Welcome Back  Nurse Internships  In The Works

It is hard to believe that our break is over, we are back to school, and we are in our last semester. We sincerely hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and the reprieve from the demands of nursing school. But now, it's back to business! Before you know it, it will be time for graduation, but before that happens, we have a lot to do. Over the next month or so we will be getting our photos for the class composite, viewing and ordering pins, and there is also a Scotch Doubles Fundraiser being planned in March!

 Pinning and Graduation  Want to be in the show?  Keep Up To Date
