VBSN Newsletter

Hi all, Happy November! Hope you all had a great month of October. This
month Sara Henly and I had the pleasure of visiting with Tennessee Congressman
Phil Roe, M.D. who serves on the Veteran’s Affairs Committee and he was very
interested in our Veterans to BSN track. Glenn Barnes, MSN, RN, PMP, EMT-P
LCDR, USN (ret) San Antonio Site Coordinator and I had the pleasure of
attending the Green Beret Chapter XV 4th Annual Motorcycle Event in San
Antonio, TX (Green Beret Brochure).

Friday Nov. 11th TTUHSC Lubbock Campus will be hosting a Veterans Day
Event from 9:00am-12:00pm (Agenda and flyer). If possible we would love for
you to join us! To all veterans a sincere Thank You for your sacrifice to our
country. Also, Thank You to all the families and the sacrifices you made for
your veteran. I encourage you all this month to Thank a veteran and their
family’s for the many sacrifices made for us. Oh, Happy Thanks Giving!

I will hold Zoom office hours this month Friday Nov. 18th from 2-4 pm (CT). If
you would like to attend RSVP me, [email protected] and I will send
you a link to join.

Graduation is one month away (December 10th) and we hope to see you all here
for the ceremony. If you are coming to Lubbock for graduation and have not
done so yet I recommend you start making plans now as hotel rooms fill up quick
over graduation weekend.

Last and certainly not least, the Marine Corps will be celebrating its 241st birthday
on Nov 10th. Happy Birthday Marines!

Zoom

• This month I will hold Zoom office hours Friday November 18th starting at 2pm and
ending at 4pm.

• Zoom allows us to have face to face interaction for all who decide to attend. Also, it
will help answer questions that you may not have thought of and will allow us all to
explore answers and options together. Zoom is currently what is used within the
TTUHSC SON as the main form of communication. So, this will also give you a head
start and familiarity.

• This month I ask that you RSVP to my email [email protected]. I will then
send you an email with the link to join.

• To access Zoom you can do one of two things. First option is to go through your
application provider and download the free version of Zoom and follow instructions.
Second option is click on link from your computer and follow instructions.
