Sigma Theta Tau Induction


I was invited to join Sigma Theta Tau Lambda Rho Chapter at Large. This Honor's Society invites those in the top 1/3 of their nursing class to join. I remember my first day of nursing school, sitting in an auditorium, listening to the director of nursing. She went through every page of our student handbook, one by one, informing us of what to expect throughout the next 2 years. When she discussed Sigma Theta Tau and what an honor it is to be an invited to join the local chapter, I knew I had to earn it. Although I would have to say, there were many times throughout the program when it got really tough and all I wanted to do was quit. Keeping Sigma Theta Tau in the back of my mind and how I felt that first day kept me trying harder. What a great feeling to be at the end of my goal, graduating nursing school, and being inducted into Nursing's highest honor. On Wednesday April 15th, 2009 12 out of 48 students were inducted into Sigma Theta Tau.
