Hi all,

i am trying to make the reflection speech encompass the more memorable experiences we have had at delta.
if you could all try to think of meaningful, funny, embarrassing, scary times that you have had at delta or in the hospitals, please email them to me.  don't worry i won't use any specifics about the person.  so even it the story is about someone else, send it, bc nobody in the audience will know who they are (and i wont reveal who sent it to me either).  Email me at trinaeagal@comcast.net

Pictures

Hello Everyone

Sorry it has been so long in getting back to you about the pictures.
Here's the deal. I will get the arch myself. My friend Dale takes
professional pictures and he is willing to take pictures of our graduation and an
individual of each one of us under the arch after we receive our pinn.
His sitting fee is $300.00 and he will make a individual CD for each one for
$15.00.
There are 75 students so 300 divided by 75 is $4 + $15 is a grand total of
$19.00. I will pay for postage for it to be sent to you. I need a yes from everyone before
I tell him yes.
This is a very important day and I think that it would be awesome for
everyone to have a professional picture made. I will need you to reply to
this email by Friday May 1st with your address to send the CD to. I will
collect the $19.00 on the 19th at the ATI test.

Thanks to everyone and hold on we are almost there.
Jennifer Stevens

Next SNA Meeting - Getting Ready for the NCLEX

A Representative from the Hurst Review, an NCLEX prep course, will be at the next SNA Meeting to provide information on the Hurst Review. Lunch will be provided to those who attend the next SNA meeting.

The Hurst Review NCLEX prep course is $350 ($250 after the $100 is applied) for a 4 day review. They guarantee you will pass the NCLEX or you will be allowed to attend their reviews for free until it is.

The SNA meeting is Monday, April 20th at 1pm in the skills lab.

See you there!

Note regarding the one-time $100 subsidy: For any NCLEX prep course, Kim Thompson of NSSP wants to remind 4th semester students: "DO NOT ENROLL OR REGISTER FOR ANYTHING UNTIL YOU TALK TO ME - I HAVE SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH MOST OF THESE COMPANIES! I must make payment directly to a vendor on your behalf."

If you're graduating this May, you should have received an email from Kim with the required application form attached. Print off the form, fill it out, and get it back to her no later than Monday, May 4, 2009. Her office is located in Locke 308.
