F.U.U.N.

When trying to get into nursing school, Trent found that it wasn't so much your experience that mattered as much as your GPA. He was also frustrated that IHC had a program to benefit its employees by having a specific amount of spots reserved in the nursing program at SLCC and the U of U did not. So, for almost a year now Trent has been working hard with people at the University Hospital and the U of U to form an alliance and reward those hard working University Health Care employees that are trying to get into nursing school. He worked with the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) of the hospital and the Health Education department to come up with a program called FUUN (Future University of Utah Nurses). While this progam has been in place since last summer, they just recently got the breakthrough they were looking for: 30 spots in a nursing program reserved specifically for University Health Employees with high reccomendations!!!! The first program starts in MAY!!!!! Last night at a meeting to tell employees the specifics, (which drew over 100 people) Trent was recognized for his efforts in making all of this possible. We are so proud of him and all that he has done to help others on their road to nursing school. GO TRENT!!!! (Fun fact: Trent was bouncing around names for the program before settling on FUNN and one idea was the Future Nurses Association. . . which abbreviated is FNA. hahahahaha! while we thought this was wildly funny, it was also kinda naughty so FUUN took its place!)

On another note, last week I graduated from my Self Defense class. So don't mess with me or I will have to lay the smack down. you have been warned. . . :)
