32 future nurses are celebrated
APACHE JUNCTION — Thirty-two CAC students were celebrated and recognized for completing the college’s nursing program.
The 43rd Nursing Division graduating class was confirmed on Dec. 8 during the fall Nursing Convocation Ceremony.
In particular, three students were recognized for their achievements within the program. Courtnee Colburn of Apache Junction was selected as the graduating class’ Outstanding Academician, having achieved the class’ highest grade-point average at CAC.
Keeley Ramirez of Florence was given the program’s Outstanding Clinician Award, while Megan McClintick of San Manuel was given the program’s leadership award.
After a warm welcome given by CAC Director of Nursing Cherrie Evans as well as Interim President Doris Helmich, the graduates were addressed by Vivian Denson, CAC’s professor of nursing.
“Congratulations!” Denson announced with two thumbs up. “You have arrived at this point, but this is but one stage. With this new stage come new opportunities.”
Next, each of the 32 members of the program’s graduating class received pins signifying the students’ completion of the program. Following the pinning, class speaker Charmaine Jackson of Queen Creek congratulated her fellow students.
“When I think back to our first class two years ago, it’s hard to believe how much we’ve changed,” Jackson said. “As a class, we all come from different backgrounds; we have a new U.S. citizen, a former flight attendant and a military veteran. Even though we’re all different, we all started the program with the same goal.”
Lastly, following a candle-lighting ceremony, the graduating students took the Florence Nightingale Pledge. The pledge, an adaption of the physicians’ Hippocratic Oath, was written in 1893 by Lystra E. Gretter and the Farrand Training School for Nurses in Detroit.
Below are the students who received their pins during the convocation and also will receive an associate of applied science degree:
Kristian Andrade (Casa Grande), Matthew Bellerose (Queen Creek), Jacob Bergen (Queen Creek), Tamera Birdzell (Stanfield), Lindsey Brown (Queen Creek), Kayla Butler (Queen Creek), Lyndie Cherry (Gilbert), Christine Cleveland (Queen Creek), Courtnee Colburn (Apache Junction), Trisha Danielson (Chandler), Amber Davis (Coolidge), James Flint (Queen Creek), Jacquelyn Geller (Casa Grande), Crystal Gower (Queen Creek), Stacy Gross (Florence), Charmaine Jackson (Queen Creek), Susan Jones (Casa Grande), Ashley Kinser (Casa Grande).
Daud Koleosho (Casa Grande), Charlene Leary (Arizona City), Brandi Martin (Florence), Jose Martinez (Florence), Megan McClintick (San Manuel), Elizabeth Milone (Casa Grande), Elizabeth Monterde (Casa Grande), Jennifer Muhammad (Casa Grande), Stephanie Nadler (Gilbert), Anna Peralta (Casa Grande), Keeley Ramirez (Florence), Brisa Silverleaf (Florence), Jennifer Walker (Coolidge), Karla Yonts (Maricopa).
Clinical laboratory assistants program
CAC’s Health Careers Center is offering a new program for students to become a clinical laboratory assistant in three semesters — including completing the practicum.
Clinical laboratory assistants perform phlebotomy, specimen processing, quality control, laboratory orientation and regulation under the supervision of physicians or laboratory scientists or technologists. They also perform point-of-care and waived laboratory tests and procedures with a limited amount of supervision and prepare specimens for transport if necessary.
The number of available positions in the clinical laboratory assistant course is limited; students must apply and be accepted into the program. Students who are interested should speak to a health careers adviser to register.
The Clinical Laboratory Assistant Information Packets are available at the CAC admission and advising offices on each campus, as well as on the CAC Health Careers website.
Background check, drug screening and immunizations must be completed before beginning the CLA practicum.
For more information or questions, contact Health Careers, 480-677-7787 or janice.vermigliosmith@centralaz.edu.
Renting textbooks spells big savings
Just when you thought renting items had become a thing of the past, a new innovation has swept across CAC’s bookstores that are operated by Barnes & Noble.
Students now can rent their textbooks, saving more than 50 percent of what it would cost to purchase a brand new copy. Students can rent in-store or online, and the textbooks are available for pickup or delivery. The bookstores also accept financial aid.
Students are permitted to keep the textbooks for the semester while both highlighting and note taking are acceptable. At the end of the term, students will be gently reminded of return deadlines through Barnes & Noble’s customer communication outreach plan.
Barnes & Noble launched the new textbook rental program in the current semester, resulting in more than 1,000 textbooks rented at a student savings of more than $50,000. The company anticipates the savings to grow in future semesters and invites students to check out the program.
For more information about the rental program, visit the bookstore website at www.centralaz.bncollege.com, or contact the nearest campus bookstore location, including Signal Peak Campus, 494-5440.
