The LPN to RN Bridge program welcomes Rebecca Simpkins as the full time Instructor of Nursing at the Greenbrier Valley Campus. Simpkins, a southern Ohio native, is a two-time Marshall University graduate where she received both her ASN and BSN. In 2016, she completed her MSN with a focus in nursing education. She comes to New River Community and Technical College with 35+ years of experience. Because of her husband’s pastoral position, she has worked in West Virginia, Colorado, and Missouri in a variety of departments, most recently being in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. Becky enjoys thrifting, traveling, and spending time with her family.

Welcome, Rebecca!

The Committee plans to record the sessions and post on the website so that they can be watched later, but those in attendance will be entered into a prize drawing. To enter the prize drawing, be sure to check-in in the Zoom chat.

The Workplace Wellness Committee would also like to share healthy recipes with the College community. If you have a healthy recipe that you’d like to share, send it to communications@newriver.edu for inclusion in the From the Hawk’s Nest newsletter.
