Shane Ritchie Attends Nurses' Unity Day

2012 Mar 5

Shane Ritchie attended the West Virginia Nurses Association Nurses' Unity Day in Charleston, WV on February 15. Ritchie, a Nursing major at Davis & Elkins College, is the son of Arlie and Kathleen Ritchie of Jackson, KY.

"Unity Day provides an opportunity for all nurses and nursing students to unite as a group to learn about current issues affecting nursing," said Dr. Carol Cochran, Chair of the Department of Nursing at D&E. The event serves to educate lawmakers on the role nurses play in health promotion and prevention through poster presentations. "Our students also joined others as they marched to the Capitol and filled the galleries of the House and Senate," Dr. Cochran said. "It was an invaluable learning experience."
