Nursing students at MVCC have won first place in a National Student Nursing Association competition. The students had to produce a song and video promoting this years theme the "Joy of Nursing". The video was then posted online and on our site three weeks ago, and voted on in competition with several other schools. The MVCC entry garnered the most votes and was declared the winner. A group of students went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to attend an NSNA conference. Check out the winning video featuring Lynzie Quinn and Brittany Gant.

Joan and Julie O'Brien posed for pictures before the sold out show with The Band Perry at MVCC. Tadpole & I also met with the trio, who are a lot smaller and younger in person. They don't look that young until you see them in person.
