Undergraduate Pre-Licensure Student Contest.
A "Name the Bug" contest was held among the Undergraduate Pre-Licensure nursing students. The "Bug", a health promotion tool used to encourage children to brush their teeth, joined us late this summer. Laura Haanraadts, a junior pre-licensure nursing student won the contest and a gift certificate to the bookstore for her name of "Brushington". Brushington Bug will enjoy a long tenure at wellness days and heath fairs supported by nursing students from ODU.
