The JoAnne Gay Dishman School of Nursing would like to extend another big thank you to CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth Hospital for sponsoring The Nightingale Experience this weekend for the 24th year! Participants learned from valuable experiences at the JGDSON and CHRISTUS, such as labor and delivery, forensic nursing, surgery, and so much more. One student said this experience opened her eyes to areas of healthcare she had never considered before. We are certain that this feeling was shared by many!
Congratulations, future nurses and healthcare workers! We can't wait to see you again!
