During congress, Sigma is offering an opportunity for nursing students to present their research, literature review, or evidence-based project as part of the Rising Stars of Research and Scholarship invited student posters. We hope this offers an opportunity to elevate the nursing profession by showcasing the scholarly contributions of students.
Each school may nominate up to three (3) students per campus to serve as program representatives. Nominations are open to undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students who meet the following criteria:
