The inductees are: Joseph Jett, Arkansas City; Heather Helsel, Dexter; Elizabeth Macy and Judith Marks, Belle Plaine; Erna Tolentino, Haysville; and Janice Yoder, Moundridge.
The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI), inducted the six undergraduate students from Southwestern Nov. 6. STTI is one of the largest international nursing organizations that works to foster, develop, and connect nurse scholars and leaders worldwide to improve health care. The honor society promotes nursing excellence through its initiatives in research, leadership, an electronic library, programming, and publications. It also develops and distributes nursing knowledge for use in practice.
Membership is by invitation only to nursing students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship. Undergraduates must have at least a 3.0 grade-point average, be in the upper 35 percent of his or her graduating class, and must have completed half of the nursing curriculum.
