While reading Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities, I learned more about the inner workings of Greek Life. I learned that the odds of me finding a sorority are so slim due to my independent and different personality. While I am not good at sticking up for myself, something this book has made me feel is crucial to blend in and conform to an ideal to fit into a sorority, I am too opinionated. There are not many sororities (at least shown in Pledged) that welcome girls who are different, preferring to stay similar. For example, each pledge class would soon like identical within a few months of pledging. Another thing I learned about is the careful planning and manipulation that occurs throughout sororities,
At a young age I knew as an African American woman through activism, educational autonomy, and community service, I can thrive through the wake of extreme poverty and turmoil faced by the people of my neighborhood of East New York. My interest in Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., would be based solely on their ethical standards, history, and values they are founded upon. The ladies of this organization exude exemplary character who excel in sisterhood, respect, honesty, accountability, and integrity. Throughout my life I always encouraged myself to have these ideal characteristics without knowing that one day I would be pursuing membership in a prestigious organization, whom upheld the key principles “greater service, greater progress. The first

Initially, the first reason why Kappa Delta is the best sorority is because of our history. Kappa Delta was founded on October 23, 1897 at State Female Normal School now called Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. We were founded by four very different women whose ages range ...
Phi Delta Epsilon Medical Fraternity provided me the opportunity to volunteer on many occasions with organizations such as Boston Children's Hospital, Perkins School for the Blind and Home for Little Wanderers Foster Care. Through ProjectServe at UMass Boston I participated in annual tasks at the John W McCormack School and the children's art centre in United South End
It all started in 1922 when six nurses founded the Honor Society of Nursing, STTI at the Indiana University Training School for Nurses. These six students were: Dorothy Adams, Elizabeth Belford, Marie Lingeman, Edith Copeland, Mary Wright, and Elizabeth Miller.
The modern nurse has much to be thankful for because of some of the early pioneers of nursing, such as Florence Nightingale and Jensey Snow. However, the scope and influence of professional nursing, as well as the individual nurse, has seen more exponential growth and change in North America since the establishment of the first professional organization for nursing, the Nurses Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada, which in 1911 came to be known as the American Nurses Association.

This year’s theme for the Cotillion was, “Cultured Pearls in a Winter Wonderland”.
I have had the privilege to work with an incredible nurse leader over the past two years. This particular nurse leader shares my passion for population health and case management for the support of patients in their homes and keeping patients safe and healthy. The purpose of this interview was to obtain further knowledge about the role desired by the interviewer. By attaining information from a practicing Master’s prepared nurse, the interviewer will develop a deeper understanding of the career advancement and potential opportunities that are available in the local community.
Nurses are uniquely qualified to fill a demand for change through leadership. Unlike business minded individuals whose primary outcome concern is monetary, a nurses’ primary concern is organic: a living, breathing, tangible being. In a leadership role, a nurse might consider an organization as if it were a grouping of patients, or perhaps an individual patient, each limb with its own characteristics and distinct concerns. They can effectively categorize and prioritize important personal and professional matters and are therefore ideally positioned to lead change efforts. Perhaps most importantly, effective nurse leaders can provide clarity to the common goal and empower others to see their self-interests served by a better common good (Yancer, 2012).
The PES-NWI survey is used as a measurement tool to look at the quality of a nursing practice environment. Dr. Lake added five subscales to be included in the PES-NWI survey. “The five subscales are Nurse Participation in Hospital Affairs; Nursing Foundations for Quality of Care; Nurse Manager Ability, Leadership, and Support of Nurses; Staffing, and Resource Adequacy; and Collegial Nurse-Physician Relations” (Lake, 2007, p.109S). Dr. Lake felt it was necessary to include these five subscales in the survey to incorporate leadership and administrative qualities along with the other characteristics.
Leadership is a function of all parts of all lives and an important component of human existence. Leadership must foster an environment that is open to advice, and input, provides an environment that fosters buy- in from others who are lead and those who are impacted. Effective nursing leadership has courage, integrity, initiative and the ability to handle stress (Meliniotis, 2015). Successful nursing leadership is committed to excellence, measures the importance of things, builds a culture around service, creates and develops leaders, focuses on employee satisfaction, builds on accountability, aligns behaviors with goals and communicates at all levels (Guyton, 2012). Nurses today are looking for leadership where leaders and followers
Promoting nursing leadership. An interview with a current New Jersey nursing leader and her pathway to leadership was discussed. This being a source of encouragement for registered nurses to further their education. This reminds those in the profession that we all have to start somewhere, but leadership in nursing can be a goal we strive for.
This organization “fosters nursing practice, promote safe and work environment, and advocating health care issues” (ANA, 2018). Moreover, ANA has empowered nurses for so many years and it is beneficial for all Registered Nurses (RN) in the delivery of care, as well as improving healthcare work environment. This organization is absolutely beneficial for me in all the specialty areas that I have chosen because it is a way to ensure that my patients are receiving all the essential health care services and ensuring that my patients are staying safe. Another nursing affiliation that I could join is the Sigma Theta Tau International (Sigma). Sigma “focus on education, leadership, career development, and research” (SIGMA, 2018). This organization would be beneficial for me because it is a way for me to move my specialty forwards since it offers continuing education. After I finished my BSN program, I will continue to pursue further education and ultimately become a nurse practitioner. Moreover, Sigma offers interactive learning activities with various learning formats that are available for nursing students. International Council of Nurses (ICN) is another organization that I could join as an undergraduate nursing student. This international organization “influences nursing and health policy through nursing articles, practice innovation, and nursing education” (ICN, 2018). This organization will be beneficial for me because it is a way for me to keep up with the healthcare policies around the world. I might travel to a different parts of the countries to work as a nurse, therefore, it will be helpful to learn the health care policies
Student organizations have been established to support and enhance learning in many career-technical fields: Future Farmers of America (FFA), agriculture; Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), business; Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), marketing; Technology Student Association (TSA), technology; and Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), allied health. These organizations provide opportunities for leadership development, service learning, and career exploration. Students, teachers, and parents expect that membership in these organizations will result in learning and enhanced skills as well as the development of positive values, social skills, and an ability to work independently and collaboratively (Vaughn, Kieth, and Lockaby 1999; Williams 2001). It is the anticipation of these academic, professional, and career-related benefits, as well as opportunities for friendship and belonging, that lead many young people to become members of career and technical education (CTE) student organizations. Intended for CTE educators, this Digest reviews research on outcomes students have realized from membership in these organizations and describes how the organizations are changing as CTE evolves.
