The Centofanti School of Nursing is excited to announce the winner of our Nursing Uniform Pantry Logo Contest: Ken Santha

His unique design will proudly be displayed on the uniform pantry.
The Penguin Scrub Hub is available to any student in the nursing program. Students can borrow gently used nursing uniforms and books generously donated by past students. This initiative helps ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need.

We gladly accept donations from past students—your gently used scrubs and books can make a big difference for future nurses!
Thank you to everyone who participated and shared their talents.

YSU graduate Allison Schuster enjoyed the flexibility of the online RN to BSN program, especially while working as an endoscopy RN. Studying alongside her daughter Abigail, who was earning a BSN on campus, made the journey to a bachelor’s degree even better. “It was special for us,” Allison said, remembering their time together as YSU nursing students. https://online.ysu.edu/degrees/nursing/rn-to-bsn/online-bsn-allison-schuster/
