TRENTON, Mo - Throughout the fall semester North Central Missouri College's Student Practical Nursing Foundation has been partnering with Wright Memorial Hospital's Oncology Nurse Navigator team to support oncology patients.

The nursing students' mission was to collect and donate comfort care items for local oncology patients undergoing treatment. As part of the semester service project students took the time to re-stock and expand the hospital's care bags. Collected items include travel-sized unscented lotions, warm socks, stocking hats, puzzle books, pens, notepads, lip balm, and hand sanitizers.

The students used classroom drives, community support, and collection boxes to raise donations. Plans are in place to make this a recurring project at NCMC each semester.
