We then presented our poster at poster sessions for the afternoon.
We took a bit of time to see the most famous Alamo.
We attended the key awards in hopes of getting ideas so our chapter can earn another key award! We need member engagement in order to obtain this goal.
In the evening we joined the nurse educators and researchers from Morristown Medical Center in a Trivia FUNraiser to raise money for the sigma foundation who provides scholarships and grants. We did not place but we did well and had a lot of fun!
Our chapter proudly is a giving club donor to the Foundation of Nursing.
