Hello everyone,

I want to encourage you all to come out to our next Student Nursing Association (SNA) meeting, Monday February 22nd at 1:00pm to 2:30pm in Lock- 118 (skills lab). We're excited to have the Deputy Director for Workforce Development for California Corrections, Katie Hagen be our guest speaker. She will be discussing about the different job opportunities in correctional health care. Katie Hagen is the one who is in charge of recruiting for all health care positions in California Corrections. With all the talk about building the New State Correctional Health Hospital Facility here in Stockton off of Arch Rd. this would be a great opportunity to come by and say hello and ask about any burning questions that you might have about jobs in correctional health. Our Dean Hazel Hill, Delta College's Dean for Workforce and Economic Development will also be present at the upcoming meeting too.

So I would highly encourage you all who might be interested in hearing about future nursing opportunities in the Stockton area to come on by. Remember that lunch is served on us so please stop in and say hello. We will also be raffle off some prizes in the chance to win a free SNA gear. So stick around to the end to see who win’s. See you all there! If you have any question please free to e-mail me at agonzales33@comcast.net.
