Thompson is known for murals across Louisville in mediums from spray paint to acrylic.
The University of Louisville School of Nursing is now offering a pediatric acute care nurse practitioner post-graduate certificate program (PACNP).
This program supports the existing pediatrics program offered at the School of Nursing - the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) track - creating another option for those interested in pediatric acute care.

I am one month into my time here in Tanzania. I am spending my six months at Muhimbili National Hospital-Mloganzila. Mloganzila Hospital is a national hospital located in the city of Dar es Salaam. It's a referral hospital, which means they receive cases from other hospitals, health centers, and dispensaries if those facilities are full or the patient has a complicated case. Mloganzila is a beautiful hospital that offers services ranging from internal medicine, emergency medicine, psychiatry and mental health, diet and nutrition, and more. It's also a teaching and research facility.
