This past winter, our partners from the School of Human Nutrition, Macdonald Campus came to the ISoN health and physical assessment class to teach graduate and undergraduate nursing students about nutrition. In May 2018,ÌýRosetta Antonacci went to the MacDonald campus and held a workshop for the dietetic students on role of nurses in the clinical settings. Mary Hendrickson and Sandy Phillips from MacDonald Campus partnered with Rosetta Antonacci and Abbey Mahon to work on this new initiative and have paved the way for a strong collaboration between the two Schools.
