During the spring semester, nursing students in Southern Vermont College’s (SVC) Quest for Success section, Just Be Healthy/Be Well, studied the concepts of personal choice and healthy living. The students participated through self-reflection, journal writing, and collaborative learning experiences throughout the semester studying topics that included goal setting, life balance, nutrition, fitness, time management, stress management, healthy choices, and more. This energetic group chose to give back to the community in two different ways.

The twelfth annual Rose Black Nursing Awards ceremony honored three registered nurses (RNs) and for the first time also honored two Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs) for excellence in clinical practice.

Chief Nursing Officer Alison White, RN, MHA opened the awards ceremony stating “All of the nurses being honored today provide exceptional, compassionate and high quality care to our patients and loved ones.”
