Nursing in Belize
Project Learn Belize is excited to announce a new joint initiative with the School of Nursing at the University of San Francisco. The first phase of the SON Health Advocacy Program's participants traveled to Belize in May 2010, as part of a team to explore opportunities for ongoing collaboration between the community of Dangriga and the USF School of Nursing.
During this first trip, participants presented educational modules related to health and wellness to students, faculty, and families of Sacred Heart School in Dangriga. Outside of these presentations at the school, participants had several opportunities to engage in dialogue with health & civic leaders of the wider town community. As in all other ventures, reflective of its name, participants in programs sponsored by Project Learn Belize are exposed to, and hopefully transformed by, the realities of cultural diversity, tradition, and challenges of education, health, and governance in this developing country in the Caribbean Basin.
Contact Dr. Mary Lou De Natale for more information.

The Answer is the School of Nursing, #5
Which Bay Area nursing school is partnering with California Institute for Nursing & Healthcare to provide a program for newly licensed RNs who cannot find employment in our current economy? USF, of course.
New RNs are having a difficult time securing a job with the economic downturn. This new initiative at the USF SON gives new grads the opportunity to work as an RN to gain RN job experience. We start our first group on September 10th. RNs in the program will work as nurses with a preceptor in clinic and school settings with clinic and school nurses throughout the bay area. The RNs in the program will work
20 hours/week in the clinical agency and have 4 hours on Friday mornings at USF working on skills and simulation.
The is a processing fee of $30.00 for those who are accepted into the program. No other tuition or fees will be required. For more information about the program please visit our webpage New RN Transition Program for Professional Development.
