CSUF School of Nursing

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Dr. Barbara Talento, RN-BSN 1976. I was rather an elderly student but it was great. I loved every minute of it. I took the exam, passed it and received my license to practice; I was a RN and was so happy. I decided to work at what is now UCI Medical Center. I chose to work there because of the diversity of patients, some poor and without insurance and some fairly wealthy but needing the expertise of the attending physicians. Since it was a teaching hospital, we saw a broad spectrum of diseases. I saw things my biology teacher said we would never see. This was bizarre, but there is a disease called schistosomiasis. The only place you can get it is from a snail that lived in the Nile River in Egypt To read more about Dr. Barbara Talento’s story, please click the link in our bio. #alumni #CSUFSON #nursing

Worthy Titan project. It takes a Titan!

The School of Nursing has kicked off a fundraising campaign for State of the Art Simulation Experiences. We would absolutely love your help as we look to raised funds to help the enrichment of virtual learning for our students. With more than 900 nursing students enrolled in our programs and engaged in skills training, we are looking for alternatives to otherwise limited, safe clinical placements. Your gift today will have an immediate impact and would be so appreciated. Whether it is a donation of $25, $50 or even a stretch gift of $100 every little bit helps. Now more than ever you can make a real difference on the experiences our students have as a part of the School of Nursing at Cal State Fullerton. Make your gift here: https://fullerton.scalefunder.com/cfund/project/22343

Pay attention to self-care.
