Tiger Talk Episode 72 05/07/2019

In this seventy-second (72nd) edition of the TigerTalk podcast presented by Northeast Mississippi Community College, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes Northeast nursing students Blayne Carr and Emmalee Hite to the podcast along with nursing instructors Debbie Hazel-Lambert and Beth Dawson. In the first half of the podcast, nursing students Blayne Carr and Emmalee Hite join Kollmeyer to talk about their capstone projects for their first year of nursing school where each group of prospective nurses had to make an informative commercial on a given topic and with National Mental Health Month falling during May...one of those topics was suicide. Carr's group chose to focus on gate-way drugs and how teen-agers get their hands on such drugs and what it can lead to while Hite's group took on the idea of suicide and how mental illness and other factors play a role into suicide. In the second half of the podcast, instructors Hazel-Lambert and Dawson join the show to talk about National Mental Health Month and also how the nursing program at Northeast stays up-to-date with its curriculum and the different ways that they incorporate technology in the classroom. Kollmeyer's wrap up of the events for the 2019 Spring Semester including graduations and an all-star football game is sandwiched between the two main interviews and contains one of the most comprehensive lists of events and happenings on the Northeast campus for the upcoming week, so if you have an event or happening on campus and want to be part of the Tiger Talk podcast, reach out to us.
