Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing Hosts Pet Therapy Dog and Social Media Sensation "Aladdin"

First-year students from Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing are currently preparing to undergo “exams week.” The week is often filled with stress and anxiety for students who are being tested on the vital skills they have learned throughout the term. To help relieve their stress, certified pet therapy dog and social media sensation, Aladdin (with 11,000 Facebook likes, www.facebook.com/aladdinnation/; 1,100 Instagram followers AladdinNation,), visited with students to provide support and comfort.

Said Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing instructors, “Aladdin is a powerful

teaching tool for instructors to show students that there are a variety of ways to bring someone into a positive state of health.”
