Nurses are vital to the health of each system, and Richardson cited the importance of teamwork in the field. Richardson, a former Home Health Care Instructor at Sparks, serves as a member of the boards of the American Red Cross, the American Cancer Society, and the Sparks President's Advisory Council. Nursing Instructor Sherry Barnes reviewed the accomplishments of the Class of 1999, citing the graduates' contributions to the community through providing physicals for EHS athletes and Head Start and volunteering in blood drives, health fairs, and hospital night shifts. All graduates have been employed in field. Three of our graduates have each received three job offers.
Salaries are very competitive right now.
On behalf of the class, Vandi Beam presented Instructors Sherry Barnes and Shayne Bryant with engraved clocks. Following the ceremony, a reception for the graduates was held in the Bevill Center.
