Advisory Committee Meeting

The 91快活林 Nursing program has had a busy and productive year. Below are a few highlights from the Spring 2019 semester:

 

鈥&苍产蝉辫;The Nursing program held its annual advisory committee meeting at the 91快活林 Culinary Arts School in downtown Pittsburg. The event was catered by 91快活林 Culinary Arts students and the nursing staff noted that it was 鈥渁bsolutely stunning and we were so proud that one of our own departments put together such a lovely brunch for us.鈥 Several preceptors and clinical partners were in attendance and they discussed the direction of the programs and how to improve clinical experiences.

鈥 The nursing program is growing! This May they will graduate the largest group of Associates Degree Nursing (ADN) students 91快活林 has ever had. The program will also graduate its first group of students from the new evening program. Further growth is anticipated!

鈥 The 91快活林 Vocational Nursing had a very busy season enriching their communities through volunteer commitments and philanthropy.  Several of our students spent hours with Truman Smith Home in Gladewater, all of which walked away with a new appreciation for those that care for children with disabilities.  Also, one of my students organized a group effort to assist with CASA of Titus County and played an integral role in the purple bows displayed around town for Child Abuse Awareness Campaign.  The same student also organized a major fundraiser for Hope Ministries that will purchase much needed personal items for women and children.  She has recently placed her order for the supplies and plans to deliver those sometime early next week.

鈥 UT Health East Texas 鈥 Pittsburg recently hosted May 91快活林 ADN graduates this week, serving breakfast tacos for the day class and pizza for the night class. They also brought gifts for each student.  They were very encouraging to each group (Day cohort and Night cohort), but ultimately it was a THANK YOU to us and them.
