Fall Semester Wrap-up

Hello nurses!

This semester was full of fun events at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. We had so much fun raising money for organizations such as UNICEF and also donating coats to those in need.

We are looking forward to more events in the spring semester but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy the holidays and winter break with your loved ones.

Bake Sale & United Nations Visit

Happy week 7 NYU nurses!

In the midst of studying, come to the lower level lobby for the NSHG-PNSA Halloween Bake Sale, which helps raise money for UNICEF. The bake sale will be from 11AM - 2PM, today, November 1st.

This weekend, some of the members from NSGH (Nicole A, Nicole L, Rohini, and Chloe) got the amazing opportunity visit the United Nations Headquarters here in NYC. Below are some photos from their exciting visit!

NYU Nurses Go Abroad!

Welcome back (and welcome) to all the new and returning NYU nursing students!

We are a group of nursing students who have a love of global health and traveling the world. So what better way to combine the two than through Gap Medics? Gap Medics is a company that provides hospital internship placements all around the world in order to gain invaluable experience of healthcare in third world countries. The countries included are Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean. The placement place has not been established and will be determined based on the interest of the students. The nursing trip abroad will take place over the January break for 1 week. Bonus: If there are enough nurses with a passion for helping the globe, there will be a discount when booking.

There will be a speaker coming in on October 18th at 4PM in 433 First Ave in room LL1-04 to provide more information and answer any additional questions about the program.

If you'd like to attend, please fill out an RSVP via the link below. We hope you can make it and look forward to seeing you there!

Stressbusters Event

Hello NYU nurses!

Alas, we have approached midterm season yet again. In the midst of studying into the wee hours of the night and cutting back on sleep, this can be a hectic time for nursing students. 

To help combat some of that stress, we are going to cohost a Stressbusters event with WHSNA next week! 

When: Monday, February 29th 
Time: 2-3pm 
Where: 433 First Avenue, Room LL1-04
About: Stressbusters is an incredibly fun and far-reaching community wellness program. It trains and dispatches volunteer teams of undergrad and grad students to provide FREE five-minute backrubs and stress information to other students. 

After a long weekend of studying, what better way to destress than getting a free back rub? Plus you'll get tips for future reference to not overload yourself in the midst of exams.

We hope to see you there! 

WHSNA&NSGH x TECH Event 2016

The WHSNA&NSGH x TECH Event with WHSNA yesterday was a great success!

Three speakers, Rebecca Callahan, Weronika Janczuk, and Natasha Birnbaum came to discuss how technology is changing the face of how we receive and deliver health care. The speakers discussed the most current, innovative ways for women to connect, exchange information and access knowledge from one another via mobile apps and other technology-driven platforms. 

From left to right: (Ms. Rebecca Callahan, Ms. Weronika Janczuk, and Ms. Natasha Birnbaum)

Rebecca Callahan discussed MAVEN's goal of providing women the affordable but definitive support in fields like fertility, pregnancy, postpartum care, and children's health. Maven believes women shouldn't have to go to the doctor every time they have a question about their health either. If you're interested in becoming a campus representative to help spread the word about Maven, apply online at https://www.mavenclinic.com/maven-campus-ambassadors. For more hiring information, contact monique@mavenclinic.com

Weronika Janczuk talked about FEMM as a women's health program that teaches the link between hormones and health. FEMM advocates courses that discuss the knowledge and recognition of hormonal cycles to enable women to manage their health and fertility in order to make informed choices. If you are interested in becoming a FEMM educator, you may qualify for scholarship for the courses. For more information and to apply online, go to https://www.femmhealth.org/teach-femm.
