Students will not be allowed to enroll in the first clinical course without attending an orientation. Sign-up sheets for these sessions are posted outside of the College of Nursing & Health Sciences (CNHS). The dates and times are as follows:

PLEASE NOTE THE TIMES BELOW - a change from what was emailed to you on 10.28.05

and the following date has been added 11.02.05 to accomodate those who cannot attend on a Monday
