17 nursing students at AWC inducted into OADN Honor Society

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Arizona Western College (AWC) says 17 nursing students have been inducted into the Alpha Delta Nu-Iota Theta (IT) Chapter of the Organization of Associate Degree Nurses (OADN) Honor Society.

According to a press release, the induction is an accomplishment demonstrating not only academic excellence, but a commitment to serving the Yuma community.

"Watching our students grow into compassionate, skilled, and dedicated nursing professionals has been one of the greatest privileges of this program," AWC faculty advisor Amber Ortega reflected. "While this honor recognizes academic excellence and leadership, it also reflects their heart for service, their humanity, and their commitment to caring for others beyond the classroom and clinical setting. These students represent the future of nursing not only through their achievements, but through the compassion, integrity, and selfless service."

In order to be inducted into the honor society, AWC says the students "must maintain a B in all nursing program courses," as well as completing a community service project of their choice.

AWC says the students led a community effort to give away over 250 care packages to the homeless in the community this semester.
