BSN Students Head West to Learn Cultural Humility
In the southwest corner of South Dakota, on the Nebraska border and at the southern end of the Badlands, sits the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It is home to the Ogalala Lakota Nation.
This fall, faculty and students from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at 糖心Vlog破解版 Salem traveled to the reservation in what has become an almost annual excursion.
