Nursing Students Help Evacuate Patients
With only three nurses to manage the hospice home care patents triage and care for twelve evacuated patients, Mossholder made the call for volunteer nurses. Seven Junior II and 3 Senior II nursing students from the School of Nursing came to assist the hospice patients and staff of Hospice Savannah. Nursing students who volunteered included: Katie Chumley, Melissa Monticalvo, Keily Mitchell, Wesley Casnahan, Rebecca Hill, Kyela McCory, Anna Rountree, Ivanna Torres, Makayla Hodges, and Thomas Rice.
“Without the help of the nursing students, we would not have managed as well as we did during the emergency evacuation period,” stated Mossholder. “As a member of the nursing faculty, I was pleased to have 10 students come to our aid and I have never been as proud of our students as I was during this adventure.” |
Larson and Faircloth Present Workshop at
Southeast Farm to School Conference
School of Health and Kinesiology clinical instructor of nutrition and food sciences, Becky Larson, MS, RD, and Krista Faircloth, graduate student in the Dietetic Internship Certificate Program, attended and presented a workshop at the 2016 Southeast Farm to School Conference in Greenville, SC. The conference offered a combination of creative ideas, practical applications for school environments, and training and resources needed to implement successful farm to school programs.
The workshop, led by Larson and Kara Leclari, Farm to School coordinator with the Burke County Schools in Georgia, focused on how farm to school is incorporated into undergraduate and graduate classes, working with interns, and developing programs. Larson provided insight on how to develop programs like Georgia Southern’s Dietetic Internship by collaborating with local farmers and businesses to allow undergraduate and graduate students to work with them for a week or two during the semester. Faircloth shared her experiences with farm to school projects such as “Feed My School for a Week,” that she participated in while working with Leclari at Burke County Schools.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the ASAP Growing Minds Farm to School Conference and it was exciting to hear all that is being accomplished in the surrounding areas,” stated Faircloth. “The opportunity to hear experiences and gain knowledge from experienced dietitians, school nutrition coordinators and food service managers who truly care about what is being taught and what foods are being fed to the students at their schools was something I loved.” |
