Cheryl Wilson MSN, ARNP, ANP-BC, Instructor and Team Coordinator for the TGH Team at USF College of Nursing, said the TGH event gave the students the chance to utilize their skills as well as provided them with the opportunity to offer a necessary service to the hospital.

“I am proud of the students for their level of professionalism they displayed during this event and have received a lot of compliments on our students from staff and administration at TGH,” Wilson said.

The TGH Employee Wellness Fair and Flu Shot Clinic is an annual event, and USF Nursing students will have the chance to participate again next year.
