Please join our board in congratulating these inspiring nurses who took the step forward to submit their applications for the Fall 2022 Constance Hall Scholarship initiative!  We would like to introduce our four Omega Gamma winners to our chapter membership...

Lynn Ferrante

Nursing for me became empowerment. I am so very proud to be a nurse, to know what I know and to do what I do.  As a Registered Nurse I have worked in Psychiatric, Drug Detox and Rehabilitation; in the Emergency Room and most recently I care for multiple disabled and severely medically complex teenagers.

I was invited to join STTI while obtaining my BSN and as I continued to gain more knowledge, skills and experience in leadership, communication and problem-solving, the need and desire to be part of a group of fellow nurses who also want to do more for their patients and make a meaningful difference, became a necessity for me.  I not only joined STTI and used their resources to finish my BSN but I also applied for this Academic Constance Hall Scholarship Award.  STTI granted me the award and I am so pleased and honored to be a recipient of it.  Being an STTI member makes me feel like I am associated with a more elite community of nurses and as nurses need to strive to be lifelong learners, this scholarship will help enable me continue being the best RN I can possibly be. 

Edlynn Villalon

I am a BSN graduate from Capella and a current RN-BSN-MSN Flexpath -Nurse Educator student at Capella. I learned of Sigma through Capella and decided to join because I wanted to network with other nurses and learn more about Sigma and Omega Gamma. All I can say is, I am very happy and glad that I joined! I'm gaining so many nursing insights, opportunities (like this scholarship!), and networking opportunities with other nurses all over the world! I highly recommend others to join Omega Gamma! Thank you for this scholarship opportunity … I can't emphasize how thankful I am!

Hadassa Saintil

I was interested in the scholarship because I saw how our STTI OG chapter was offering much needed help to advance our nursing careers. Nursing has been very difficult for the last two years due to the healthcare environment. My future leadership interests would be mentoring new nurses so I can encourage them. Caring for patients now makes you a good nurse; caring also for nurses makes you great nurse!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your generosity in awarding to me the Constance Hall Scholarship. I am truly honored to be considered as a recipient. Receiving this scholarship continues to help me in furthering my pursuit of Nursing excellence in the realm of Nursing Education. I have dreamed of becoming a nurse for 6 years before I started the process into nursing education. Twenty-two years in the field and constant education has been a benefit for my knowledge today. I am honored to be a part of Sigma Theta Tau community and I am dedicated to make an impact to nurses in my community. This scholarship has … allowed me to focus on my capstone and practicum. Thank you so much for your generosity.

Just a reminder that the September 29 is a NO CEREMONY induction. It serves as a date to put on your certificate, but there is no actual ceremony to attend.
New members are encouraged to watch the New Member Orientation video and fill out your profile information. Thanks!

I  am  Ricardo  Oxamé.  I  am  from  Léogâne.  I  am  a  third-year  student  at  the  Faculty  of  Nursing  Sciences  of  Léogâne,  FSIL.  My  family  thinks  that  I  have  made  the  right  choice  and  at  the  same  time  are  very  proud  of  me,  especially  when  I  share  my  knowledge  with  them  by  practicing  the  techniques  learned  at  the  FSIL.

I  want  to  become  a  nurse  to  have  a  profession  that  will  allow  me  to  take  care  of  people  who  are  sick  and  who  do  not  have  real  access  to  health  care.  I  remember  when  I  was  little  there  was  a  nurse  who  always  came  to  do  injections  for  my  mother.  From  then  on,  I  grew  up  with  this  passion  for  the  idea  of  ​​becoming  a  nurse,  and  today  here  I  am,  a  nurse  in  the  making!

The  biggest  influence  in  my  life  is  the  director  of  my  old  establishment  where  I  completed  secondary  school.  She  has  always  been  a  role-model.  She  took  care  to  give  me  a  very  good  education  and  it  is  thanks  to  her  that  I  can  go  to  college  today.  I  am  very  grateful  to  her.   

All  the  subjects  that  are  discussed  at  my  school  interest  me  I  do  not  have  a  favorite.  I  am  currently  very  involved  at  FSIL;  I  am  the  new  president  of  the  association  studies.  Soon  after  finishing  my  studies,  I  want  to  pursue  a  master's  degree  to  be  a  nurse  practitioner  and  have  a  clinic  in  my  neighborhood,  and  take  care  of  the  sick  wherever  I  go. 

FSIL  prepares  me  very  well  for  my  future.  It  has  given  me  a  lot  of  knowledge  that  will  make  me  a  great  nurse  like  those  who  have  already  graduated.    I  am  more  than  proud  to  be  an  FSILOIS!

Your Chapter Giving Club donation to the Sigma Foundation for Nursing research permanent fund helps empower nurse researchers like these to continue advancing nursing science.

I invite you to watch the grant announcement below to hear about the research studies your donations make possible. You can read about additional recipients here.
