North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) Registered Nursing students recently achieved national recognition at the Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (OADN) Convention. Held last month, the convention gathered nursing students, faculty, and professionals from across the nation to advance excellence in nursing education. 

Graci Devier, Faith Fredrickson, and Morgan Olson, members of the Alpha Delta Nu Nursing Honor Society at NDSCS, took home first place in the convention’s competitive poster presentation for their work titled, “Self-Care for Nursing Students and Faculty.” Their project highlighted essential strategies to promote well-being and resilience within nursing programs, an issue increasingly relevant to both students and educators alike. 

"We are incredibly proud of Graci, Faith, and Morgan for their outstanding achievements," said Deb Smith, Associate Dean of Allied Health at NDSCS. "Their dedication to self-care in nursing exemplifies the values of our program and sets a strong example for others." 

These remarkable students demonstrated both leadership and dedication to the field of nursing. Their success brings pride to the NDSCS Nursing Program and reinforces the commitment to student excellence and well-being.
