Five Bachelor of Science in Nursing December 2022 graduates accepted into National Student Nurses' Association Honor Society.
Five Bachelor of Science in Nursing December 2022 graduates -- Andy Flores, Christina Vo, Elise Choi, Sarah Showe, and Daniela Guitierrez -- were accepted into Leadership U, the National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) Honor Society. The students were inducted into the honor society for participating in leadership activities in the University of Maryland Association of Nursing Students (UMANS), the University of Maryland School of Nursing Shady Grove chapter of NSNA.
The goal of the honor society is to prepare future nurse leaders. As students transition to their roles as registered nurses, they will be prepared to participate in shared governance as well as in professional nursing and community organizations.
Being a UMANS board member provides students with an opportunity to hone their leadership skills and make an impact on the nursing school community and the USG community at large. All five students are members of NSNA and were nominated by their faculty advisor for holding a UMANS board member position for at least one semester, although many held positions for more than one semester.
