Nursing students hopig to Shadow during a AAA visit to hospital

Here is an e-mail from Mellody Antoon, the nursing instructor at Lamar Orange. She had asked me to speak to her students, but James' return meant I had to cancel. So I am providing her with DVD's and literature. She would like to have the opportunity for her students to shadow you when you make a visit to the hospital. This is a wonderful opportunity to influence future nursing staff on the values of our program. Please contact her individually or several of you get together and set up a time to visit. Either hospital as the students go to both. I will do a few IF I am able, but I can't do it all. Lyvone, get Jana---you will have to share pedi or visit in other parts of the hospital as you both want pedi. France, Can you help on a spring break day or maybe one of those days you have off to use. Janice, I know you and Sally can fit in anywhere in the hospital. So folks lets work with Melody and convince these students that AAA is great for patients.

"We have a total of approximately 50 students, so this would allow them all the opportunity to shadow a team.

Thank you so much for helping me with this! We are the only nursing school (to my knowledge) in the area that is incorporating AA/AAT into the curricculum. I am so excited."

February 22 and 23

Melody

I hope that both you and your husband are doing well. I want to let you know that the Tuesday meeting went well; although it would have been much better had you been able to come! Delta did send me the information that I requested which was excellent! I also had a group from the Therapeutic Riding Center come to speak.
I really do believe that the students are looking forward to it.
I have had some responses from some of your team members about students shadowing their visits. We are on a schedule, but I was thinking if all of the team members would just let me know when they are going to make a visit, whether or not it is during our scheduled time, I might be able to get more students through. Some of the students might have more free time than others and be able to work in a visit anytime. Would you mind sending out an email mentioning this?
Again, I am so excited about this. Delta even wants to write about us on their blog!!!
Thank you, Jo Ann!
