Galen Participates in Race for the Cure
|
A team of about 35 Galen students, faculty and employees raised more than $1,600 for cancer charities, including the Oct. 3 Race for the Cure 5K walk/run.
Vonda Massie RN, BSN, who is Galen's Clinical Learning Lab Facilitator, led the charge to organize the fundraiser, with many others helping out. Galen employees Kim Malloy and Tiffany Wilson "were wonderful," Massie said. "It truly was a joint effort by
many individuals." The fundraiser also included pink ribbon sales at the school and a student-organized Bowl-a-Thon (see story below).

Public Colleges Turning Away Nursing Students
|

public universities are turning away about half of the highly qualified nursing

deans and the Florida Center for Nursing said. School officials say it is very
difficult to recruit nurses to become faculty when their pay would be cut by as
much as half to make the switch. Read the Whole Story |
