Hello Members,

Our Spring dinner on April 23rd at Carraba's was so much fun, informative, and praiseworthy of our Lord as Dr. Jessica Savage gave our devotion and our guest Speaker was Dr. Elizabeth Card.  She is an expert in EBP and spoke on ways to promote EBP through scholarship.  She was the founder of The Empowered Nurse internal peer reviewed publication at VUMC.  An inspiration to all who seek to improve nursing practice, nursing care, and nursing as a profession. 

Announced:  Mollie Kate Creech as new Student Sigma Representative

We are looking forward to next year's dinner! 

Kind regards,

Dr. Liz Hall 

President Omicron Phi
