AWARDS
MOSINA
Awards (Most Outstanding Senior in Nursing Award)
This award supports the faculty belief that the humanities are an
essential part of the nursing program and as such recognizes the
senior nursing student who has best achieved the curriculum objective
as determined through academic excellence, service, and clinical
performance.
SIGMA THETA TAU,
INTERNATIONAL endeavors to seek out and reward all students
in baccalaureate or higher degree nursing programs who have demonstrated
ability in nursing as evidenced by superior academic achievement.
Chapters, which are the mechanisms for inducting eligible candidates,
take an imperative position to seek and recognize all qualified
candidates. Avila was the first liberal arts college to be granted
the opportunity to establish a chapter. Each year, senior nursing
students are nominated for membership. Purposes of the organization
are to:
- Recognize superior achievement and scholarship.
- Recognize the development of leadership qualities.
- Foster high professional standards.
- Encourage creative work.
- Strengthen commitment to the ideals and purposes of the profession.
