STUDENT APPRECIATION DAY FOR ALL SCHOOL OF NURSING STUDENTS
Student Appreciationwas Monday, January 14, 2008. If you did not receive your gift, please stop by Room 6407 in Academic Affairs/Student Services to see Judy Turner, the Alumni Affairs Coordinator for the School. Dean Narsavage and the School of Nursing want each student to know they are appreciated. We're so glad you're here.


SUMMER BSN COURSES - PLEASE NOTE THE SHORT DEADLINE!
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.

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!
