		<title>Camp Barnabas Update from Tina</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Thanks for forwarding the information about the need for volunteers at Camp Barnabas. They were able to fill their need of 23 volunteers within a 2-day period.  What a blessing!!!!


I arrived home yesterday after a very spiritually fulfilling week. I took 6 amazing nursing students that worked non-stop the whole week. This term of campers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merciful Students in the Storm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A bad storm blew through our area last week, with tornadoes and lots of damaging wind. Here&#8217;s a story from the morning of the storm, from the director of our ASN program, Becky Miller:

		<title>Mercy Values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From an email from an RN at St. John&#8217;s Hospital in Springfield:
&#34;On April 22, 2009, we had second-semester students on our floor from 1400-1900. In my opinion these students performed above the call of duty and exhibited the highest Mercy values attainable. If this is an example of the future of nursing then we can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Health Sciences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our college is approved to offer a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences and an Associate of Science in Health Sciences. I am excited about these degrees, because they provide a way for people with certifications in health fields, such as paramedics and dental assistants, to round out their education with a college degree. And, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aiding and Abetting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of aiding and abetting going on at St. John&#8217;s College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Southwest Baptist University-Springfield. You might think I&#8217;m writing about something criminal, since we usually hear the phrase &#34;aiding and abetting&#34; in the context of someone helping a lawbreaker do something illegal. &#34;Abetting&#34; is actually a lovely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Above and Beyond</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love emails like this, from a faculty member who teaches pediatrics:
&#160;
&#34;I want to tell you about some students who went &#34;above and beyond&#34; in the clinical setting.

		<title>Speaking Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This might be the best story I&#8217;ve heard in the last few months about a student who demonstrated that &#34;just a student&#34; is a vital part of the health care team. It was sent to me by Leah, a clinical instructor in the college.
The student was accompanying her patient to a procedure, thinking they were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Infection Control</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jodi, a clinical instructor, emailed me that she wanted to share some good news, along with her fellow instructor, Susan. She wrote:
&#34;Today the patient advocate on our hospital unit observed all of our students. He was looking specifically at how many were washing their hands. He made his observations without any of us knowing what [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Spirit of Inquiry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Paul, one of our clinical instructors, reported this story this week:

&#34;I was approached  by a team leader in the hospital last night who shared some compliments and observations.  She expressed amazement at the positive  atmosphere that the students and instructors in our college share. She reported that in the nursing program she [...]]]></description>
