On
behalf of the Mu Lambda Chapter Board of Directors
and myself, welcome!
When you become a member in
Mu Lambda, it is a true sign of goal achievement. Nurses and nursing students
invited to join have met academic and leadership criteria indicative of their
scholarship and pursuit of knowledge to assure high quality professional health
care for families.
Each member of Sigma Theta
Tau International is part of a world-wide organization of nurses who work very
diligently to provide quality patient care everywhere. Collectively we can make
a difference locally, nationally, and internationally.
Leadership, scholarship, and
service to individuals and communities of people are the avenues through which
we can make such differences. In the fall of each year, we sponsor a research
forum. Nurses from the community, university, and around the state share knowledge
from their research and projects designed to demonstrate ways that will provide
our patients with the best practices we know.
Contact hours are often provided
for most of the educational programs. We meet about four times during the year
to continue sharing knowledge to further our understanding about people of other
cultures, leadership strategies, and professional issues. Four newsletters are
mailed to members each year, The Quest.
Opportunities for sharing, learning, and serving are abundant. Everyone is welcome
to come and share. It is a time when students, nurses practicing as educators,
nurses practicing as clinicians, nurses practicing as leaders gather and are
on the same level playing field to share their passion for nursing from a variety
of perspectives. Come join the dialogue, the fun, the camaraderie, and the opportunity
to just be you.
Membership in Sigma Theta Tau International is a wonderful privilege. Make it
your goal to share in this privilege by attending as many meetings as possible
and becoming involved. Please visit Upcoming
Events for Mu Lambda meeting dates and Officers
and Committees for a list of officers and committees. Also please
take some time to watch the Mu Lambda video, You
Belong Here.
Evaluation is continually important. We need you to tell us how we might plan
meetings for your convenience and interests. In the meantime, feel free to send
me an email to chat or request more information.
Mary Huntley,
President, Mu Lambda Chapter, 2006-2008
