Nursing Program
Honored At State Nursing Convention
(10/29/08)
MONTICELLO, AR — The Division of Nursing at the University of Arkansas at
Monticello received both the Image of Nursing Award and the Community
Service Award from the Arkansas Student Nurses Association at the
organization’s annual convention in Rogers October 23-24.
The Image of Nursing Award was presented in recognition for UAM nursing
students sponsoring a child through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The
Community Service Award encompassed a variety of projects undertaken by the
UAM Student Nurses Association during the past year.
In addition to the two awards, UAM junior nursing student Lauren Thurman of
Tillar was elected to the Arkansas Student Nurses Association board of
directors and will represent UAM at the national SNA conference in Reno,
Nevada November 13-16.
“I’m very proud of our students for bringing honor and recognition to the
Division of Nursing,” said Pam Gouner, division chair. “These awards are a
positive reflection on our students and our nursing program.”
According to Gouner, all UAM nursing students are part of the Student
Nursing Association and participate in fund-raising and community service
projects designed to benefit the residents of southeast Arkansas. The UAM
SNA won the national Image of Nursing Award last March for a project called
“Aid to AIDS in Africa.” |
