St. John's College of Nursing third semester pediatric students volunteered recently at the 2008 Teddy Bear Rally at Dickerson Park Zoo. The Rally was held April 26. Students worked at the Bear Care Clinic where children brought their favorite stuffed animals that needed a little loving care.

Third semester nursing instructor Tina Tarter-Hamlet said "While checking out the Teddy Bears, the pediatric students provided a fun and exciting way to introduce and allow children to explore different medical equipment."

The Teddy Bear Rally is one of several community events that St. John's College of Nursing students participate in annually.
