Dear Gamma Pi at-Large Chapter Members:
In the light of this previous weekend’s storms, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how proud I am of our Sigma nurses.
Nurses have historically been a source of comfort, caring, and advocacy. The efforts from our chapter’s nurses convince me that we are dedicated to Sigma’s mission: advancing world health and celebrating nursing excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service.
I know that many of you were called upon for Mass Casualty alerts and responded at a moment’s notice. I also know that many of you volunteered time, money, and skills to our neighbors and community members who needed it. I have no doubt that you will continue to support our community as the recovery and healing process continues.
I do not know all of the services you all have provided and continue to provide to our community, but whether it was nursing triage, clean-up, tetanus boosters, ensuring volunteers remain safe, supporting our first responders, or any of the other thousands of tasks you perform, I want you to know how humbled I am of you, your efforts, your commitment, and your selflessness in service to each other and to our neighbors.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to demonstrate excellence in nursing.
“You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” – John Bunyan
“To do what nobody else will do, in a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through, that is what it is to be a nurse” – Rawsi Williams
With sincere gratitude,
