YSN and Yale will provide relief to those displaced by Hurricane Katrina
New Haven, CT — September 12, 2005"The catastrophic loss of life caused by Hurricane Katrina and the harrowing physical and emotional ordeal suffered by the storm's survivors have shocked and saddened all of us. Even as we hope for the consolation of those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods, many in our community are hastening to provide what assistance they can to the survivors of this tragedy," said President Richard C. Levin. To provide relief to nursing students displaced by the hurricane, here are some of the initial steps the Yale School of Nursing is taking: YSN will accommodate a limited number of graduate students in areas where the School has parallel advance practice nursing programs with Schools closed by the hurricane. Students will be admitted as non-degree students with the understanding that they will transfer credits earned here to their own institution. Tuition costs will be waived for these students.
