This year's theme is Profiles in Human Adversity where we examine the life of dystonia patients, HIV/AIDS in Africa, and the unique nursing experience in the throes of Hurricane Katrina. On Thursday March 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Bartley Hall Room 1011, hear Theresa Boyer Hess, BSN, RN, a 1998 graduate of the College of Nursing, tell her story of facing the Hurricane Katrina calamity while working at a busy city hospital. Moving into a civilian role after seven years of Navy nursing, Hess was a new nurse on the bone marrow transplant unit when tragedy struck New Orleans. She tells of disaster nursing — a time of critical decisions and actions in a deteriorating environment. Her message is an affirmation of what it means to be a nurse. Research Symposium. All are invited to the annual Research Symposium in the Villanova Room on the afternoon of March 20. For more details, contact Dr. Marguerite Schlag.
