The 2020 senior nursing cohort has created “The George Fox Guide to Health and Wellness” as a part of their community health clinical rotation. It helps educate students on some of the most important aspects of college life, such as taking care of yourself!
This week on the George Fox Nursing Instagram, students will provide more information on each topic. The topics for Tuesday and Wednesday are nutritional health, physical health, mental health, and self-care!
Take a look at the GFU Nursing Instagram as well as the George Fox University Instagram Stories for more information. You can also access the guide at this link.
