UTMB Galveston Nursing School

[Mnstn, BSN, RN]

I know UTMB suffered severe damage during Ike and is in the process of laying off many employees. I wondered if anyone had heard about the fate of the Nursing School? My mother is a doctor in the Clear Lake area and I know the doctors at UTMB are having a hard time finding a place to go. I hope that's not going to happen to the nurses.

I go to Galveston College and have quite a few friends in the UTMB nursing program. They have relocated classes to areas such as ACC, and anywhere they can find to continue on with their education. So though other things are falling apart with UTMB, they are keeping their students on track to graduating

The school is open again, in case anyone didn't know. I'm going there in the fall, and when I interviewed with the Dean, I actually did ask her about Ike. She said that the school motto is "The University of Texas stops for no storm," and acts accordingly.
