A Letter to Jo and Jodi by Toni Ratliff. Dr. Snider and Irving have been inspiring Gator Nurses for over 100 years and we are asking for your support to honor these living legends. Pledge to the Snider-Irving Innovation & Learning Lab Challenge before the campaign ends on May 18 to help name our Debrief Room “The Jo Snider and Jodi Irving Debrief Room” and prepare students to meet the ever-changing needs of the health care environment.
