In this program you move right into the ADN and RN program, and from there she was accepted into a four year university and finished out by getting her BSN there.

UCI Haiti “Manje? Manje?” With empty, open hands and pleading eyes, I am asked by a five year old Haitian if I have any food. His rounded stomach is malnourished from eating mud pies. It is mid morning, when this child should be in school, but instead he is at home. In the background, his mom and three siblings outside their one-room house with mud floors and walls, a thatch roof, and open windows. The poverty level in Haiti is at a heartbreaking high which can be lessened by becoming educated and

The University of Washington published the article, Facts About Mental Illness and Suicide, which states that three to twenty percent of bipolars and six to fifteen percent of schizophrenics die by suicide.

In the 1950’s hospitals began to administer “therapeutic abortions” which were only done if and when the mother’s life was in danger. Finally, in 1958, a record of a Planned Parenthood

the first thing that came to mind was Alcoholics Anonymous. I have heard of AA but never had an expanded understanding of the program. The first thing I did was google “Alcoholics Anonymous University of Iowa” and the rest was a breeze.
