NSU Nursing Students Collect Bandages for Underserved Patients
Ricky Wong, NSU Florida Student Nurses Association representative; Patricia Ortiz from Immokalee Clinic; Terry Ogilby, Ph.D., M.S.N., M.P.H., RN, clinical director and associate professor, NSU’s College of Nursing; and Yerania Lopez from Immokalee Clinic showcase the bandages collected and donated by the students
NSU’s College of Nursing students in Fort Myers recently participated in the Florida Student Nurses Association’s “Make Them Smile Campaign.” The group organized a drive to obtain 1,000 latex-free bandage donations to give to Immokalee Clinic, a Federally Qualified Health Center which treats underserved populations, where students participate in educational rotations. Not only did the students meet their goal, they doubled it, receiving 2,000 bandages! This is a great example of NSU’s Community Core Value.
