The Associated Italian American Charities of Maryland, through the generous funding from the Saint Agnes Hospital Foundation announces a scholarship opportunity for those seeking a baccalaureate degree in nursing.  The award for this scholarship is in the amount of $10,000 annually ($5,000 each semester) and is intended to be used during the traditional academic year (fall through spring), for purposes such as tuition, fees, room, board, and/or books.  If you are an interested candidate, please contact Andrea Bechtel-Mathias for an application.  The application must be postmarked by April 1, 2010.

If you are still looking to obtain an H1N1 Vaccine, the Wellness Center still has about 100 left!

Please call 443-352-4200 to schedule your appointment!

Nursing students are required to complete many health requirements.  A PPD is only one of these requirements.

The Wellness Center has PPD clinics a couple times each year.

Our two co-chairs of our Students Helping Students, Steven Zornak and Cameron Campbell,  coordinated a wonderful Externship presentation by 4 hospitals this afternoon.  26 Juniors attended the talks given by Franklin Square, U. of MD, Union Memorial and Hopkins.  The hospitals were pleased by the turnout and there was a lot of one-on-one discussion at the end.
