The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing at the University of Arkansas inducted 32 new members of Pi Theta Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau at a ceremony Nov. 8 at the Garden Room in Fayetteville.
The inductees were 29 seniors in the nursing school and three nursing leaders in the community.
Sigma Theta Tau is an international nursing honor society with more than 400,000 members in 90 countries around the globe. The senior nursing students must be in the top 35 percent of their classes to be eligible for Pi Theta.
The society's purpose is to recognize superior achievement in nursing, recognize the development of leadership qualities, foster high professional standards in the field, encourage creative work and strengthen commitment to the ideals and purposes of the profession. Community leaders may be elected if they have demonstrated marked achievement in nursing education, practice, research, administration or publication. Nurses in this category must have a minimum of a baccalaureate degree.
The Pi Theta Chapter has 160 members.
