Time Management

One of the most important skill sets that must be developed by the new nursing student is time management. It is a skill that all students must acquire, but nursing students tend to be young childbearing females, ages 18-30, who have at least a part time job. There are many older women (ages 40+) with career job experience who are changing and making nursing a second career choice. They are sandwiched between school-age children and elderly parents needing their assistance. Both younger and older students may have church, community, and recreational obligations. Both groups regularly have to juggle these divergent responsibilities. Enrolling in school can add another layer of "to-do's" to an already hectic life schedule. But the rewards of earning an advanced (or another) degree far outweigh the rigors of the matriculation.



Capstone Proposal

Cohort III presents: 
"A Journey To A Legacy"
August 28, 2010
The students of cohort 3 of Morgan State University's graduate nursing program presented their capstone project to Dr. Galbraith and Dr. Scott of the Nursing program for approval. Cohort 3 has the vision that every undergraduate nursing student at Morgan State University will matriculate successfully and graduate prepared to enter the professional nursing practice.  The cohort developed the Nursing Student Success Portal in order to implement this vision.  This portal will be a website dedicated to providing various resources for the undergraduate nursing student at Morgan State University. The presentation was met with much enthusiasm from Dr. Galbraith and Dr. Scott.  Since receiving approval for the project, the students of cohort III have been diligently working to construct the new website.  They plan to unveil the website on September 25, 2010 to the undergraduate students and other guests.  Details will be posted on this blog once they are available.
