She noted that defense lawyers try to find ways to discredit her and her methods. The presentation introduced CNSA members to a sensitive topic and an aspect of nursing many of us had not thought of before. This area of nursing may be a good fit for students to pursue who are interested in being part of a criminal investigation effort, and in bringing comfort to victims of such Submitted By Jamie Marquis, Nursing Student Sem. 4 CNSA Community Projects Coordinator Dr. Cindy Mekis (Class of 2014) was the guest speaker at the third general meeting for CNSA.

5 5 The Valley Foundation School of Nursing November 2016 Volume 1 Issue 7 UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT NEWS On September 29th, CNSA and PHNC came together to provide blood pressure screenings at the CHAMP Elderly Wellness Fair with the help of Dr. Lori Rodriguez and Dr. Colleen O'Leary-Kelley. Semester 1 students were very thankful that they had the chance to practice their skills under the supervision of our faculty members, while students from the upper semesters got to practice taking blood pressure manually. October 8th was a big day for nursing students to represent our nursing major's participation in College of Applied Sciences and Arts (CASA) supported events as CNSA, ATD, and PHNC, all gathered to help at the Walk to End Alzheimers. The route for the walk went through our SJSU campus where our students passed out information about Alzheimers and gave the walk participants refreshments along their way to the finish line. You can bet our nursing students left an impression on CASA. On October 1st, CNSA at SJSU joined forces with other CNSA chapters in the Bay Area to host the first Breakthrough to Nursing Conference in California. This event was held at CSU East Bay which was quite a commute for our pre-nursing students in SJSU but the turn out was still greater than we had imagined. Because of this event, pre-nursing students at SJSU are now reaching out to CNSA members for advice. Because of this, CNSA is currently planning a mentor-mentee program to gather nursing students who are interested in mentoring pre-nursing students through their journey into the program at SJSU. On the weekend of October 7th to October 9th, CNSA members attended the 3-day CNSA Convention (themed: A Culture of Learning) at Visalia, CA where the key speakers inspired our members about the many possibilities that nursing has to offer, shared Florence Nightingale's accomplishments and her influence on modern day nursing practice, and discussed California's recently approved End of Life option and what it means for nursing. Along with these speakers, the members were provided many resources including NCLEX review, job interview strategies, information on mission trips, pharmacology made easy, and advanced nursing practice opportunities. Members even got to hand their business cards and resumes to potential employers from all around California. CNSA at SJSU was also recognized and awarded for our CPR Block Party that the past officers held last semester where our students taught 225 SJSU students, staff, and visitors how to do compression only CPR. On October 23 CNSA participated at the MDA muscle walk! On October 2nd, CNSA members got the chance to work alongside medical professionals to do first aid for the marathon runners at the Rock and Roll Marathon. The medical team gladly accepted members with any amount of experience so even our semester 1 students had a chance to watch the medical professionals firsthand.

FALL 2016 STATISTICAL ADVICE FOR THE SJSU COMMUNITY During the Fall 2016 semester, students nearing graduation in the MS Statistics program will offer statistical advising to members of the SJSU community. They will provide advice on aspects of empirical studies, including study design, methods of analysis, suggestions for usage of software, and interpretation of computer output. The service consists of one or a few meetings, usually minutes, with one or a group of MS Statistics students in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The students will provide the service under the supervision of a faculty member, Andrea Gottlieb, as part of their participation in Math 269. The students involved in the service have completed most of their course work in statistics, so they are prepared to offer useful advice. The service is provided free of charge to members of the SJSU community. How do I use this service? Fill out the form below and return it via campus mail to the faculty advisor, Dr. Andrea Gottlieb, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Or preferably, provide the requested information in an sent to andrea.gottlieb@sjsu.edu. The information is intended to ensure that your request is given to the appropriate student(s), and to give that (those) student(s) an idea of the advice you are seeking. Is the service limited in any way? Since the service is offered through a course, it is limited in several ways. It will only be offered during a semester in which the course is offered (currently Fall 2016). Advice only will be provided. The service may NOT be used for course work, rather it is intended to provide statistical assistance for research activities, where statistics is used as a tool in the research and is not an end objective in and of itself. The service may NOT be used as a tutorial for either statistics or for the usage of software (although such arrangements could be made on an individual basis). Should demand exceed supply, it may be necessary to limit availability of the service. The service provides advice, hopefully good and useful advice, but it does not assume responsibility for your research project. Who are you? Name: Department: If a student, under whose direction are you performing your research (provide name and contact information): How can we reach you? Telephone number: Best times to call: address: What are you working on? Very briefly, in at most a couple of sentences, describe your research project. What does your data look like? Very briefly, in at most a couple of sentences, describe the data you have or plan to collect. How can we help you? Very briefly, in at most a couple of sentences, describe the kind of advice you need.

7 The Wellness Corner: Exercises For Your Busy Life complements of Conscious Living Center ( the presence.org) Key: pay complete attention to one exercise until it becomes automatic; then add another exercise. As you practice with the small things, when a big stressor comes up, the centering will automatically be there to assist you. Or create your own this exercise should be something that you do frequently during the day. All of these exercises are designed to bring you into the present moment alert and aware, free from the mind chatter. From this place of awareness, you are more efficient, clear, relaxed, insight full and productive. 1. Pay attention as you brush your teeth; feel the toothbrush on your teeth and gums. 2. Each time you walk from one room to another, walk slowly, paying attention to your feet and feeling the weight shift from 1 foot to the other. 3. Allow the telephone to ring at least twice. In the time between rings, take a couple of centering breaths and then answer the phone. 4. Before entering a patient's room or your office, stop and take three or four easy breaths. Then walk in with a smile on your face, present and alert. 5. In a meeting, while you are waiting for an appointment, or when you need to refocus at your desk, take a pen or pencil and balance it on the top of your index finger at the edge of the nail bed. 6. While you are listening to someone talk focus on your breath. You will hear more clearly and at a deeper level. 7. As you are waiting in line at the grocery store, practice your slow, easy breathing. 8. Look at the back of your hand as if you have never seen it before simply look with wonder and amazement of a newborn discovering his/her "hand" for the first time There is no judgment, no labeling, only wonder and amazement.
