THE SPRING 2008 CLASSROOM SCHEDULE
Click here to see where you are supposed to be!
SUMMER BSN COURSES
Plans are now being made to schedule summer nursing courses. It is possible to complete a full semester of nursing courses during the summer. Undergraduate students who would like to be considered for junior or senior level nursing courses should submit a written request by email to Dr. Shelton at eshelton@hsc.wvu.edu by January 25, 2008. Even if your progression plan calls for summer course work or you have already discussed this possibility with faculty, you must submit a written request. If you were selected for summer classes last year, you still need to submit a request this year. Students are selected for summer classes based on academic achievement and space availability. To qualify, students must have a GPA over 3.0 and cannot have earned less than a C in any nursing courses. Courses run over a 12 week summer session from May 19-August 9, 2008. Students in the BS/BA to BSN program and the RN to BSN program do not need to submit a request.

CELEBRATING DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.’S BIRTHDAY, MONDAY, JANUARY 21
 "We must work unceasingly to uplift this nation that we love to a higher destiny, to a higher plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humanness"
-Dr Martin Luther King
The third Monday of January is designated across America to celebrate the birth, the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. This day is the celebration of equality, the celebration of freedom, and the celebration of a man who believed in change through non-violence.

KEEP BRINGING YOUR
USED PC CARTRIDGES TO HEALTH RESTORATION
  We continue to raise funds for the Humane Society – The small pc cartridges we are donating are worth around $1 and the large cartridges bring in $4 each – This continues to be a worthwhile project, saving the animals and the landfill as well. The Humane Society truly appreciates your efforts! This is a year round project! We just turned in another 80 cartridges! Great job – keep them coming – unfortunately, the need never goes away!
