Lindsey Wilson launches new DNP in Executive Leadership By Venus Popplewell Lindsey Wilson College announced the addition of the doctor of nursing practice in executive leadership degree to its academic programs. The College currently offers a nationally accredited CCNE bachelor of science in nursing degree and a fully-online RN to BSN program. The first DNP cohort will begin in August 2021.

"The college is well prepared to offer the DNP based on its other successful master's and doctoral programs. We are excited to bring advanced nursing study to southcentral Kentucky."

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 3/24/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department A close look at our data may appear the Adair, Pulaski, and Wayne numbers are off today. This is because we moved one Pulaski case to Wayne and we deleted one duplicate from Adair. Today, like the last few days, our new case rate is continuing to creep up, so our 7-day average incidence rate is creeping up as well. This is concerning since COVID-19 restrictions are being eased, vaccine uptake has slowed, and compliance with precautionary guidelines is not being followed as closely. Considering exponential growth, what looks like a slight uptick today, could turn into a surge over the next 6 weeks. Just 6 days ago out total cases were projected to double every 607 days. Today, 491 days. We now have only 2 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Cumberland, and Wayne; and 8 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Adair, Casey, Clinton, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, and Taylor. None of our counties are presently in the "red-critical" range. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2021-03-24 21:45:17 | Comments | Printable version
LWC Baseball drops Brescia 14-5 in road victory By Brady Budke Owensboro, KY - The Lindsey Wilson baseball team traveled to Owensboro, Kentucky this afternoon and knocked off Brescia (KY) by a final of 14-5 at Kamuf Park. Offensively, the Blue Raiders sent out 11 hits from the plate and stole a season-high eight bases as a team. Kelvin Llanos notched a team-best three hits while Lucas Bault and Tyler Maskill each stole two bases apiece to lead the way. Derek Zavala and Seth Price each corralled three RBIs to guide the scoring effort. Defensively, Brandon Wilson pitched his way to the win, going eight complete innings of work while recording his season-high of seven strikeouts. Brescia grabbed the lead in the opening inning, crossing two runs for the early advantage. However, the Blue Raiders added the equalizing runs in the second inning when Price led things off with a solo home run, and Jonathan Gallagher brought Tyler Maskill home off an RBI single a few at-bats later.

Adair among 9 counties transitioning drivers licensing By Naitore Djigbenou/Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Nine more counties in April will make the transition to a new, secure driver-licensing system that gives customers more choices and modern services. Licensing services in those counties, and ultimately the entire state, will be performed at specialized regional offices of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) instead of at the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in every Kentucky county. "Kentucky's system for driver license application, issuance and renewal is being taken to the next level with a network of driver licensing regional offices exclusively dedicated to licensing services," KYTC Secretary Jim Gray said. Making the transition will be Adair, Breathitt, Floyd, Hopkins, Madison, McCracken, Pulaski, Rowan and Russell counties. The Office of Circuit Court Clerk in those counties will cease nearly all in-person driver licensing services on Monday, April 26. The nine counties join Fayette, Franklin and Woodford counties, which already have made the transfer of services. The new system is to be phased in statewide by June 30, 2022.
