On December 9, 2016, 91AV senior level nursing students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and accelerated BSN cohorts participated in the 2nd Annual Symposium on Evidence-Based Clinical Scholarship.

The nursing students, mentored by faculty members Debra Kramlich, Ph.D.(c), RN, CCRN, CNE, and Kristen Holt, M.S.N., RN, developed and executed oral presentations, poster presentations or info graphic visuals focusing on the nurses’ role in the continuum of care for addiction and recovery.
