To Year 3 Nursing Students:
Sent on behalf of Dean Linda Patrick:
Due to continuing budgetary restrictions and a lack of guaranteed government funding for this year, the Faculty of Nursing has made the decision not to run the Summer Externship Program for 2012. The Faculty of Nursing will continue to assess its financial situation to determine if this Program will be reinstated in future years.
