Message of the Week
May 14, 2008
GRADUATION: THE DAY YOU THOUGHT WOULD NEVER COME - IS ALMOST HERE!
May and August Grads: Please make sure you have turned in all forms to Brandy Toothman
in Student Services. Don't forget that there is a mandatory rehearsal on Friday, May
16th at 11:30 AM at the Rec Center.
CLASS OF 2008 - WE'LL MISS YOU, AND WE'RE NOT QUITE READY TO LET YOU GO!
Many of you are leaving Morgantown to begin your great adventures as nurses, but we are
not quite ready to let you go! So, let's stay in touch this summer! Let us know where
you are, what you're doing and we will share your information in the Message of the
Week - this would be a great way for you to hear what your classmates are doing as well
and establish contacts with them. So e-mail me,
bjurick@hsc.wvu.edu
with all the information you want to share and I'll put it in the Message. You'll make
a difference in the world - we want to share in that wonder! Congratulations and best
wishes to each of you!
A GREAT IDEA FROM SNA IF YOU PLAN TO DO SOME TRAVELING THIS SUMMER!
Please collect the toiletry items (shampoos, soap, even the instant coffee) you don't
use from the hotels you stay in. You can bring these items back to school and place
them in the collection box in Academic Affairs (in front of Brandy's desk) either
during the summer or when you get back to school. SNA will donate these items to the
Bartlett House. Thanks so much. Michelle L. Ryan is the SNA President, 2008-2009.
SNA COLLECTING TOPS FROM MEDICATION VIALS FOR FUNDRAISER!
If you are working in a clinical setting this summer, please collect the plastic tops
off vials of medication. When you open a new vial of medication, save that round
plastic top. You can save them until school starts OR you can drop them off in
Academic Affairs (in front of Brandy's office). SNA is using these for a future
fundraiser. Thanks for everyone's help and support.
CHEROKEE INSPIRED COMFORT AWARD
Nominations are being accepted for this award for "exceptional service, sacrifice and innovation" during 2007. Many possible awards are available. Please see Stuart Wells in 6415 for an application. Deadline for submission is May 31
NEED A BABYSITTER?
Nursing Student Jessica Pforr will be staying in Morgantown throughout the summer.
She can babysit on a regular basis or every now and then depending on individual needs.
More than one child is not a problem (she comes from a big family). She typically
charges $10 hr. but that is negotiable. Feel free to contact her anytime at
304-376-3542.

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! Unfortunately,
the need never goes away!
There was a great article last week in USA Today praising the feral cat program,
which we are currently supporting with the Humane Society. Feral cats are caught,
spayed or neutered and then released. Additionally, funds are used for food and
shelter for these animals who, through no fault of their own, find themselves living
in colonies and not in loving homes. The spay/neuter program will eventually shrink
the size of the colonies. There is a large feral cat colony behind Bob Evans and
these used cartridges that you so generously donate are helping these cats with food
and shelter and sterilization.
