November Update!

Hi everyone!

Boy has it been awhile! So much has been going on since the last post!

On November 6th, the School of Nursing had their annual pinning ceremony. This is a tradition in which each student receives a pin to signify their accomplishments during each year of nursing school. Each class gets a different pin, and the second year pin I got this year was white, with the UVA crest. Dean Fontaine, Dean Carroll, and our Nursing Student Council President gave reports about all of the nursing school happenings from from finances to our fourth year students abroad in Denmark and New Zealand!

In our Clinical Skills class, we've really picked up the pace and have learned so much. It's hard to believe the semester is already coming to a close and that I will be working in the hospital in January!

Now to answer your questions --

Q: Is there a program for LPNs to go from RSN - BSN?

A: Yes, there is a program for you! Here is a link to tell you more about the RSN-BSN Program of Study.

Q: Do you accept third years who want to transfer into the nursing school?

A: The nursing school does not accept current third year applications. Students looking to transfer must apply in their second year to enter into the program beginning in the summer session before their third year. For current second years at UVa wishing to transfer in, here is a link for more information.

This semester is flying by!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
