Over
100 New Nursing Students Arrive at Trent
The
Trent/Fleming B.Sc.N. (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) Program, now in
its second year, welcomed 104 new students this week. Combined with returning
second-year students, there are now 200 nursing students on campus.
Dr. Lesley Lewis, director of the program, says the year is off to a great
start: "It has been a smooth beginning and it's been exciting to
have another great group of students in the program," she said.
A barbeque was held
on Tuesday, September 10, to welcome new students and recognize top-standing
students from last year's class. President Bonnie Patterson attended the
event and told the nursing students they are a group of "pioneers,
moving forward to a new standard" in health care. She added that,
as a board member of the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, she feels
there is a lot of excitement in the community about the Trent/Fleming
program.
"Leaders
in this community are excited to see students studying nursing at this
level," President Patterson said.
