Making the Connection Recruitment Program

The School of Nursing is pleased to announce Making the Connection, a recruitment program where current students and alumni are rewarded for referring nurses to our Masters and PhD programs (excepting MEPN). For every five completed applicants, the referrer will receive a special prize, and the person who makes the most connections will get special recognition at the end of the year. The referrer will only get credit for candidates completing the entire application process. So let's start making connections!
For more information: Asha Reed, (415) 476·4810 or asha.reed@nursing.ucsf.edu (email). To record your referrals, use the forms at the links below.
