Nursing Student Honored During Internship at Army Hospital
Helen Snead, center, receives a certification of recognition from Col. Jean Daily, the deputy commander of Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
Helen Snead, a nursing student at the University of Arkansas, was honored this summer by the staff of Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio for completing more than 175 hours of rotation time on the center's Burn Intensive Care Unit.
Snead, who is from Rogers, is a senior in the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing. The internship she completed at Brooke required 120 hours in the burn unit, but she requested to spend more time in the unit. She wanted to gain as much clinical experience as she could in the specialized treatment facility.
A senior-level cadet in the Army ROTC, Snead plans to graduate in May. She hopes to be assigned to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington or to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. She will spend five years on active duty with the Army.
"My grandfathers served in World War II and my dad in Vietnam," Snead said. "To serve my country is the greatest honor I could have."
