In honor of National Nursing Month, we are proud to highlight the dedicated faculty and exceptional programs that prepare future nurses to serve with skill, compassion, and confidence. This month, we’re especially proud to spotlight William Hall, a valued nursing faculty member at our Livingston Center, whose leadership and experience help shape the next generation of healthcare professionals.

On October 18th, a group of Vol State clinical students assisted in facilitating a flu vaccination clinic at Hendersonville Medical Center as part of the student's clinical experience. The five nursing students and their instructor Cassandra Cassidy administered more than 70 vaccines.
"This clinic was held for Hendersonville Medical Center employees only, rather [than being] open to the public. However, it was a rich experience for our nursing students," instructor Cassandra Cassidy mentioned.
