(April 25, 2024) — The School of Nursing’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program hosted its annual BSN Scholar’s Day and Honor’s Presentation. Twenty-three students presented on April 16 in the Copley Formal Lounge at Georgetown University.
All senior nursing students participate in a cumulative scholarship project focused on evidence-based exploration of a clinically relevant topic of their choice. Students were mentored by faculty and presented their work in a poster presentation. BSN students in the nursing honors program gave formal oral presentations on their research.
Topics ranged from exploring methods to support NICU parental mental health to the health literacy level and health needs of undergraduate college students.
Award winners will be announced during the upcoming School of Nursing Tropaia ceremony in May.
