Thank you to everyone who has RSVP'd and sent in transcripts for the BSN @ Home meeting tomorrow! Please feel free to attend even if you haven't done this. They will be bringing and sharing lots of information tomorrow at 11:30 in Room 216. Hope to see you there!

Hello fellow students-
On Friday, January 9th at 11:30 on the Superior campus, we have arranged to have a representative from the BSN@Home program come meet with us. This is a program that allows you to earn your bachelor's degree online through one of the University of Wisconsin campuses. Here is a link for the program if you want to explore it ahead of time http://www.bsnathome.com
Lorraine Smith, the representative, is asking that students email her a copy of their UNOFFICIAL transcript so that she can get an individualized program plan together for each of you. Her email address is smithlm@uwec.edu. In no way does this information session commit you to anything but will just be an opportunity to easily explore one of the options that is out there and kind of give you a general idea of what additional classes you may be required to take to earn a bachelors. I would imagine the meeting would take at least an hour but we are set up in room 216. Hope to see lots of you there! Enjoy a well deserved break in the mean time!

An awesome quote from this article: “What personal care hospitalized patients now get is mostly from nurses. When nursing is not optimal, patient care is never good.”

Hats off to all the current and future great nurses out there!

It is surprising that it was only after a long and complicated hospital stay that Dr. Arnold S. Relman, a noted medical educator and author, realized the importance of nursing care.
