CI Nursing Students Present at 2019 SCCUR

CI Nursing students Yvonne Guzman and Madison Totushek presented at SCCUR (Southern California Conferences for Undergraduate Research) on the "Pregnancy Outcomes in Farm Working Women". To quote their presentation, " Pregnant migrant farm workers are a vulnerable population that can be exposed to many health risks in their workplace. As previous research shows, pesticide exposure has significant harmful effects on the fetus, therefore, it is important for mothers, who could potentially be exposed to these chemicals, to be protected from them during the perinatal period." Great work on the research and presentation, ladies!

CSUCI Nursing and Health Science students' visit to Santa Rosa Island

In late September, 14 Health Science and Nursing students traveled to the Santa Rosa Island Research Station accompanied by Dr. Lynette Landry and Dr. Charlene Niemi. The purpose of the trip was to develop an appreciation of the environmental changes caused on the island due to ranching operations and other human activity. Students also learned about how some of the plants on the island were used by the Chumash for medicinal and nutritional needs. Students participated in hikes on the island focused on identifying plants and connecting with the natural beauty of the island.
