Nursing Honor Society at Alvernia University
The purpose of the Nursing Honor Society is to recognize superior achievement, recognize the development of leadership qualities, foster high professional standards, encourage creative work and strengthen commitment to the ideas and purposes of the nursing profession. Students must meet eligibility criteria to become members.
