Student Day of Caring

Our second in-person Student Day of Caring was a huge success. Over 80 students joined six of our alumni to learn about health and wellness for new nurses. Thanks to our amazing sponsor MedAffinityEHR, they were treated to lunch and did small group mentorship with our alums! Special thank you to the Nole Nurse Alumni Council for hosting the event and to Dr. Diane Raines, Nola Lanham, Berinice Mercer-Lewis, Dr. Katie Saunders, Malinda Folkert, and Gabe Kuhn for joining and sharing their words of wisdom with future Nole nurses!
