The Nursing Student of the Month was created by NUS to recognize students for their achievements in any of the following: academic efforts, clinical work, volunteer service, community service, citizenship, athletics, etc. Every month, a first year and second year student will be chosen as Nursing Student of the Month.

Our 1st year nursing student of the month for January is Connie Irwin Connie is the sweetest, most knowledgeable and non-judgmental person I’ve met thus far. Connie takes her time to assist her classmates if they have any questions regarding course material. During our last clinical placements in geriatrics, Connie not only practiced her wound care technique but also took the time to find her group mates so that they could observe,and learn from her. Additionally, she eve...n gave other students the opportunity to perform dressing changes on her patients while guiding them through it while providing positive encouragement. Connie is extremely kind and connects so well with her patients. I can see that they definitely appreciate her company and I always hear laughter coming from her patients' room while she is providing care. She goes above and beyond in everything she does. Words cannot describe the passion she has for this work! She was made for this and it really shows! Not only are her relational skills on point but she is the calm in a storm. No matter how hectic or challenging a situation is Connie remains calm and holds her group together. I can always go to Connie to talk about anything, without worrying about being judged or brushed away. Keep being you girl! Congratulations, Connie!
