UPEI Nursing Student Carries Off National Award of Excellence
Jody Misener, a fourth-year nursing student at the University of Prince Edward Island has been recognized nationally for her outstanding clinical performance. The Canadian Nursing Students' Association has awarded her the Sigma Theta Tau International Honour Society of Nursing Scholarship for Student Clinical Excellence. Nursing students from across Canada compete for this annual scholarship valued at $2000 US.
"I am honoured to have won this award which not only recognizes my excellence in clinical performance but also shows how tremendously important the faculty and clinical instructors are at the UPEI School of Nursing," says Misener.
She will accept her award at the 2007 Canadian Nursing Students' Association national conference in Toronto which takes place January 23 to 27. This year's theme is "Nursing: New heights, New frontiers."
This is the second time in recent years that a UPEI nursing student has carried off the national award for clinical excellence. In 2005 it was won by Melanie McCarthy.
