On December 17, 2009 the East Vancouver Campus held one of their biggest and most successful potlucks ever. The potluck was held in the East Vancouver campuses new nursing/rca building. Over 100 staff and students attended the potluck. Entertainment was provided by 4 talented students who sang their hearts out. Prizes were given out for people who gave food bank donations. Prizes included Canucks tickets, Sprott Shaw paraphernalia, and an autographed Kevin Bieksa hat. Students who donated food put their names into a draw for prizes. East Vancouver total food donations reached a record high, over 500 items (about 14 boxes). There was plenty of food for everyone! I spoke to the lovely advisor from the East Vancouver campus and she was saying how she is grateful to have such amazing students and coworkers.

What a great way to wrap up the year and a very generous donation!!

On Monday November 2, 2009 the East Vancouver campus held their Pinning Ceremony for the Practical Nurses. The Practical Nurses will be graduating on Friday November 6th! The East Vancouver campus had 9 students attend with their family and friends. The Pinning Ceremony took place at the Renfrew Community Center and the students underwent the old tradition of the pinning and capping of new nurses. This is a tradition dating and originating back to Florence Nightingale in the 1800′s. Students receive a traditional nurses cap, a pin and a candle while the Practical Nursing students recite the Florence Nightingale Pledge.
