BRCN students attend "Commitment to Care"
 Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing students attended the "Commitment to Care" seminar, recently. During the seminar students heard from BRCN president, Dr. Pam Brown who stressed the importance of nurses in today's society. "It is a privilege to be a nurse...nurses are the hope in patients eyes," said Brown. Brown also introduced the Academic Recognition Program, which is new this fall. Faculty will nominate students who go above and beyond; and each month, a different student will be recognized. Students also heard from the officers of the Student Nurses Organization (SNO), who encouraged all students to get involved in the program. For the second half of the seminar students split up into groups and talked about many different aspects of nursing and why they chose this major. A "Blessing of the Hands" ceremony ended the day with each student nurse having their hands blessed by faculty members. "Nurses hands touch patients, family and friends every day, do not take your hands for granted," said Brown.

An informational meeting about the spring 2010 study abroad course to the Netherlands will be held on Tuesday, September 8, in Meaders Lounge from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. This trip will give students the opportunity to experience art, architecture, history, and politics while studying the Golden Age of Europe's original heartland and have fun at the same time. Students will visit famous cities such as Amsterdam, Brussels, and Antwerp, see the works of Rembrandt and Van Gogh in Amsterdam, cruise its famous canals, and visit the house where Anne Frank once lived.
