This past April several enthusiastic

students represented Fresno State

University at the 63rd Annual Na-

tional Student Nurses Association

Convention held in sunny Phoenix,

Arizona! These students had the

opportunity to go beyond the class-

room and clinical experiences to

attend informative general ses-

sions, seminars, workshops, and

insightful presentations.

GOODBYE AND

GOOD LUCK MA! Occasionally we meet someone in our lives who

is exceptional and unforgettable in everyway. On

behalf of CNSA and Fresno State Nursing, we

would like to wish Dr. Mary Ann McCarthy (Ma)

the absolute best as she embarks on a new ad-

venture. You have been that special person who

will always be remembered fondly by everyone

who knows you. May life grant you success and

endless happiness wherever you go.

Hannah Ilano, 4th semester

With Ma leaving, we should focus on the

positive and take this time to reflect on all

the amazing memories we have with her.

Let us focus on her warm welcome into

the program and her role in creating our

nursing family. Focus on all the care and support she

has provided us, from the most trivial issues to the ones

where it seems like everything is falling apart. Ma is

such a beacon of positivity and the best thing we can do

is support her like she has supported us and focus on all

the good. I know I speak for a lot of people when I say

that it has been a privilege to have met Ma. Let us pro-

tect her legacy. Just because she will be gone, it does

not mean that she will be forgotten. So thanks Ma.

Thank you for all the time and dedication youve given

us and this program. And personally, thank you for eve-

rything youve done for me; I wouldnt be here without

your support. We will miss you Ma!

Cooking can be a great way to relieve

stress and take your mind off study-

ing for finals. Why not take a little

study break to whip up these deli-

cious desserts?

COOKIE BUTTER MUG CAKE

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup cookie butter

spread

4 tbsp milk (I used fat

free, but other versions

should work)

4 tbsp all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large, microwave-safe mug, add all ingre-

dients in the order listed. Mix with a small whisk

until batter is smooth and no flour lumps remain.

2. Cook in the microwave for about 1 minute and

20 seconds or until cake is cooked.

Cookie butter is probably the best inven-

tion of all time! Its perfect for a quick fi-

nals fix if youre having a craving for

sweets. The main ingredient in this mug

cake, cookie butter, can be found in gro-

cery stores in the isle with other spreads. I

recommend either Biscoff or Trader Joes

brands.

Heres another quick treat thats super

easy. You can even make extra and store

in the freezer for later when you need

brain power to ace those finals!
