A friend of mine was caught in the storm. His car was blown through the air like a toy. He was rescued, taken to a hospital, and treated by several Capstone nurses. They had a rough night but still managed to call his wife while he was being treated. He was one of the lucky ones.

Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Cheshire was a student in Cohort 3 of the program and she now serves on dissertation teams and the Steering Committee. As a part of the steering committee, she is part of the team that is continually working to make the program the best it can be for the students. Dr. Cheshire states, “I love this program because as a graduate of the program I understand its value. As a nursing faculty for almost 25 years I spent many of those years teaching without truly understanding the "why" and " how" of teaching strategies. This program as a student allowed me to grow professionally and become a better teacher. Soak up everything you are taught! As nurses, we were not trained on how to teach students, however many of us have ended up in educator roles. Having the privilege of being a part of an interdisciplinary program provides you with insight into the world of education and the world of nursing. A GREAT combination.” Thank you for all you do for our program, Dr. Cheshire! ... See MoreSee Less

THANK YOU! Your generosity during #BamaBlitz helped us meet and exceed our passion project goal! In just three and a half days, we raised $10,010 for the CCN Student Balance Relief Fund. That means once the pledged matches are reflected, your support helped us raise over $20,000 for our 2021 passion project! Your gifts to this fund will help us provide financial aid to nursing students with small balances on their accounts preventing them from continuing on in their education or completing their degrees.
To all those who gave to this fund or any others during #BamaBlitz, we say #ThanksAndRollTide! ... See MoreSee Less

#BamaBlitz kicks off Monday at noon, and this year CCN will be raising funds for the CCN Student Balance Relief Fund. This fund will provide financial aid to nursing students with small balances on their accounts to allow them to continue their education and earn a degree.

“As someone who works with students directly, my goal for the fund is to help our students who just cannot afford to pay a relatively small balance so they can continue on in school,” said Rebekah Welch, director and registrar with CCN’s Office of Nursing Student Services. “I never want a student’s progression to be affected by their inability to pay a smaller balance on their account.”

CCN alumni, supporters and anyone who would like to lend a hand to future health care heroes can do so by contributing to the Student Balance Relief Fund during #BamaBlitz. Beginning at noon April 12 and ending at 11:59 p.m. April 15, Bama Blitz directly supports a variety of key projects in UA’s colleges, schools and units.
