Message From The President
Dear Members,
Welcome to the Rho Delta Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. I am delighted to share that I have started to work as the President of the Chapter. As I reflect over the last several years, I begin to realize the chapter activities are showing tremendous impact in the nursing education, practice and research.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the Chair & Co-Chairs of Newsletter, Publicity & Web editing Committee for their hard work in compiling and publishing this newsletter. The committee now has introduced the newsletter through online portal, using the blogger website.
The Rho Delta Chapter is now
celebrating its completion of 17th year. Rho Delta
Chapter is now a community of distinguish members, including nursing students
and nurses who are serving as Faculty members, clinical nurses, leaders, and
researchers. Almost all the members are working towards improving health
through nursing scholarship, service, practice, and research.
It is also a pride moment for the chapter that the members
are collaborating to work with other disciplines, government and private
sectors to improve the quality of life the low income population and the vulnerable
segments of the population. Few of the activities are listed in this
newsletter. It is my hope to work more on improving nursing education in the
country by providing continuing education to nurses, nurse educators and
clinician. The chapter continues to strive towards increasing the number of
nursing faculty and nursing leaders from all over country.
I must admit that there is lot of opportunities made
available to the Rho delta members to make regional and international
collaboration and work together as one nursing community. I strongly believe
that with all individual differences and qualities together we can make world
peaceful with global health for all. As His Highness the Aga Khan IV said “We
would be required to respect the immense diversity of ethnicities, of languages
and of cultures, of faiths, of philosophies. In short, we learned to embrace
the values of Global Citizenship” (His Highness speech, Toronto,
Canada, 21 September 2016)
I would like to express my gratitude to
all Rho Delta Chapter’s board of directors; officers and members for their time
and services to improve the image and status of nursing profession nationally,
regionally and globally.
Regards,
Dr. Rubina
Barolia
President - Rho
Delta Chapter
