Nursing Students Inducted into Honor Society “This [induction] is just a small stepping stone on
our way to graduation and I know I’m speaking for ev-
eryone when I say it’s such an awesome feeling know-
ing that we worked so hard to get where we are today,”
said Kayla Getgen, vice president of CSM’s Alpha
Omega Chapter.
“Being a part of the honor society is exactly what
the name says – it’s an honor,” she added. “Looking at
all the faces in this room, the faculty, parents, siblings,
children, significant others and everyone else, smiling
back at us knowing we have accomplished something
is another awesome feeling.”
“I challenge each of you to think of this induction
into the honor society as a beginning, not an end,” Rus-
sell added. “It is the beginning of your continuous pur-
suit of knowledge, of lifelong learning. It is the begin-
ning of thinking differently about yourself.
“You are professionals,” Russell said. “You are lead-
ers. You have chosen to become a member of a profes-
sion that for the past 16 years has been ranked the most
honest and ethical.”
