For all who want or need to brush-up on the math that is needed while in Nursing School, there is a book that we highly recommend reading and completing before beginning Nursing school this fall. Please follow this link for more information: Davis' Basic Math Review for Nurses
Standardized Testing and Nursing School
Because nursing requires so many unique standardized tests, we are giving you "heads" up on a project that the SON is designing. It is a series of online workshops that will guide you to develop, fine-tune and practice test taking strategies to excel at the nursing standardized tests. Students with a composite score of 77.4% or lower on their TEAS IV will be required to participate in these workshops, and others are highly encouraged to participate. Please check the SON website frequently for the details of these workshops.

NURSING FACULTY NEWS
Dr. Francine Jones, PhD, RN, will make two podium/oral presentations at the Sigma Theta Tau International National Honors Society of Nurses, STTI Region 8 Conference, October 7th -9th, 2010, Hattiesburg, MS., University of Southern Mississippi.
Dr. Lolly Lockhart was the expert witness for the Registered Nurse (charges dropped on one) facing criminal charges for appropriately reporting a physician to the Texas Medical Board. Dr. Lockhart was permitted to hear the testimony, and thus was able to consider what each of the defendants and witnesses had stated under oath. She then testified to the legal and ethical responsibilies of RNs to report threats to the safety of any patient, family, community, or population. The jury met for one hour to arrive at a "Not Guilty" verdict. The civil trial is pending against the defendants who wrongfully brought the charges against the RNs.
Dr. Barbara Covington was a panel member speaking about "The Influence of Emerging Trends on Healthcare Construction" at a meeting for the Society for Marketing Professional Services on April 13, 2010, in Austin, Texas.
Dr. Cheryl Rowder presented "Creating Collaborative Research" at the Health Professions Research Day on April 16, 2010, in San Marcos.
