Nursing Students Spread Holiday Cheer

The students in NMU’s NE 204: Introduction to Nursing Skills course paired with local boy and girl scout troops to bring some holiday to residents of Norlite Nursing Center in Marquette. The goal was to bring three generations together to make Christmas cards, meet new friends of a different age and talk about holiday memories.  Pictured are nursing students Monica VanLandschoot and Gianna Casali – elves who helped coordinate activities.

The Student Nurses Association was part of two fundraiser events during the fall semester.  The group joined with Students for Organ Donation to sponsor “Joggin for her Noggin”, a 5K run/walk and 1K walk, to benefit Kaylyn Kutchie, an NMU nursing student with brain cancer. The event raised 2,560.  The group also held a “Pink and Black Affair” dance and social that raised more than $3,000 toward cancer research.

Students meet with retired nurses

NMU nursing students in the NE 302 course had an opportunity to bridge generations when they met with the members of the Alba Morse Retired Nurses Club. The event gave the former nurses a chance to tell the nurses in training about their experience moving the hospital-based St. Lukes School of Nursing into the university setting. They also allowed the students to practice their nursing assessment skills related to falls, geriatric depression and nutrition.
