QUCANS has been busy preparing our students for future jobs with a resume building workshop and a visit from the U.S Air Force. The Air Force was on campus to share their funding, benefits and educational opportunities for medical school. What a great experience for our students!

Congrats to our Nursing 304 students!

🎉Congratulations to all the BSN, ABSN, and MSN graduates of May 2024! 🎉

Last Friday, we held our annual Blessing & Pinning ceremony for all of our nursing graduates. It was a beautiful ceremony, highlighted by some amazing student speakers. Thank you to all the families, loved ones, faculty, and everyone else who has supported these students throughout their collegiate and nursing journeys.

We wish all our nursing graduates the best as they prepare for licensure testing and their futures as leaders in our community!

As we wrap up this semester, we want to recognize all of our great students who carry this program. From those who were just inducted into the Sigma nursing honor society, to everyone involved in QUCANS for their amazing impact on our Queens community, and every student changing lives in their clinical rotations, we are deeply proud of all that you do.

Thank you for being the backbone and heartbeat of our community!

It's time again for the QUCANs annual blood drive! Please consider stopping by campus from 10 AM - 3 PM this Thursday, March 21st to donate blood (or just stop by to say hi!). Our goal is for at least 30 donors to participate!

Cheers to the class of December 2023 🥂

Dr. Catherine Baxter and Vicki Talbot, faculty from the Presbyterian School of Nursing and Blair College of Health, presented November 30th at the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Transform conference. Their peer-reviewed poster presentation, Cognitive Load, Scaffolding, and Pharmacology Case Studies, was awarded first place at the conference from over 100 accepted abstracts. Talbot also presented a podium abstract December 1st, Diversity, Curriculum and Interfaith Concepts. The theme of the national conference was “Innovation and Inspiration: Reimagining the Future of Academic Nursing.”

Congratulations to Dr. Baxter and Dr. Talbot for their outstanding accomplishment!

Just as all of the individuals we serve come from all walks of life, it is equally important we all strive for improved inclusivity so to best serve. For those in the nursing profession, this is a choice we must make daily to provide the best service and care for those who need our help most.

Dr. Annette Hines attended the annual conference of the Transcultural Nursing Society in Charleston, SC October 11-13. She presented a poster, Advancing Culture Care in an Integrated Clinical Concepts Course. This was a collaborative research project with Dr. Janie Best, professor emeritus, and was presented to hundreds of nurses from around the United States!

Welcome to the Fall semester! Faculty started strong last week while "cruising" back into work. We welcomed yet another new cohort into the nursing school today, all eager and excited to start the next step in their professional journey!

Here's to a prosperous and fun new semester at PSON!

Will VR be utilized more as alternative training methods for nurses going forward?

Professors Jean Marie Redder and Vicki Talbot from the Blair College of Health Presbyterian School of Nursing attended the 20th anniversary International Nursing Association of Clinical and Simulation Learning Conference titled “Imagining the Future of Simulation.” The conference was held June 14-17 in Providence, Rhode Island and highlighted best practices in simulation and virtual learning environments. Both had a great time and brought back some awesome tips on how we can utilize VR at Queens going forward!
