NURSING AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY STUDENTS UNITE WITH THE AMERICAN RED CROSS TO RUN SUCCESSFUL BLOOD DONOR CLINIC ON CAMPUS.


Collaborative efforts between the Nursing and Graduate Occupational Therapy Programs and the American Red Cross netted 110 units of blood during this year's blood drive.

The two day event was held in the University Commons on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 2nd and 3rd.  The Student Nursing Association sponsored the drive on Tuesday, at which 60 productive units of blood were collected. Graduate Occupational Therapy sponsored the second day on Wednesday, at which 50 productive units were collected.

Donors were encouraged to make appointments and both days were filled with back to back appointments. Walk-ins were accepted when time between appointments permitted however, quite a few of the walk-in donors had to be turned away because the wait was too long.
