COORDINATOR’S CORNER
Our spring
class starts in ten days and it is already getting crazy here in the office! The annual
meetings from the fall classes are continuing and I am amazed once again by the creativity
shown by each of you in this ministry. January was a busy time for our webpage with 789
hits. Kudos to those of you who sent in your stats electronically … it worked great J!
Kim Busboom continues to be a “miracle in motion”. I am happy to report she
is back in the SICU three shifts a week and even taking patients. She looks GREAT!!
Thanks to the Paris and Marshall nurses for all of their help with our upcoming
class in Edgar County—we could not have pulled this together without them.
Mark your calendars now for the spring and fall CE programs being offered here in
Urbana.
Do you believe this winter? Even with all of the mild temps and lack of snow, I find my
heart yearning for spring!
