Advocacy, professionalism, quality education, leadership and autonomy are the core values of the National Student Nurses\u2019 Association, which recently presented Amanda Nuckols its Core Values Award.<\/p>\n

The Core Values Award is given nationally to one student per year. The award is designed to inspire students to embody the values most important to members of the National Student Nurses\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n

Amanda Nuckols received the Core Values Award from the National Student Nurses\u2019 Association.<\/p><\/div>To be eligible for the Core Values Award, students must be pursuing a nursing degree and be a member of the National Student Nurses\u2019 Association, and they must be nominated by faculty.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor working with a student that demonstrates these core values. She\u2019s amazing. She\u2019s humble. I\u2019ve never met another student like her in all my years as an advisor,\u201d said Karen Tormoehlen, Student Nurses Association advisor and assistant professor, who nominated Nuckols for the award.<\/p>\n

Nuckols graduated in May from the Clinical Nurse Leader Program, which allows students with a bachelor\u2019s degree in another discipline to receive a master\u2019s degree in nursing in two years. <\/p>\n

In her time as a nursing student, Nuckols served as president, cohort representative and convention planner of the UT Student Nurses\u2019 Association. She also served on the Nominations and Elections Committee of the national organization. <\/p>\n

In addition to these roles, Nuckols helped build a playground for the local Ronald McDonald House, assisted in a community event that gave families impacted by human trafficking a day at the zoo, led the local Student Nurses Association chapter in providing a bountiful Christmas for orphans, participated in medical mission trips to developing countries, volunteered at a free clinic serving the homeless, and more. <\/p>\n

Nuckols will return to the University this fall to continue her studies with the Family Nurse Practitioner Program. She also intends to work as a registered nurse while pursuing her third degree.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a huge honor,\u201d Nuckols said. \u201cI have worked hard to do well as I was completing my studies, while also being involved in a variety of organizations and roles. I am so glad that my effort and dedication have paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
