SNA Meeting 10/18

Join us this Monday, October 18th at 1:00 PM in Locke 313 for our monthly Student Nurses' Association meeting. This month we have a speaker most of you may be familiar with- Cheri Wells, RN MSN. Many of us struggle with narrative and documentation in today's nursing world, and Ms. Wells has put together a presentation that may help. Documentation is a huge part of nursing nowadays, and the information that Ms. Wells has might prove invaluable to you in the long run.

Also presenting at this meeting will be Kaplan NCLEX Review representative, Daisha Hicks. For those that are graduating or getting close, come and check out what Kaplan reviews are like and see if they're the review for you. We'll also have food and raffle off a few prizes. We hope to see you there!
