FOUR CPUT staff members are celebrating an extra special International Nurses Day today after being inducted into the Honour Society of Nursing.
The four staff members - Dr Theresa Bock, Dr Anso Truter, Dr Evalina van Wijk and Chantal Settley- were among eight new members inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI society during an event hosted by CPUT at the Bellville Campus.
Four staff members from the University of the Western Cape were also inducted.
STTI provides nurses with resources and opportunities to engage with other nursing leaders and develop their professional and leadership skills.
Membership is by invitation to baccalaureate and graduate nursing students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship and to mentor leaders exhibiting exceptional achievements in nursing.
The society has more than 135 000 members in more than 90 countries.
Settley, a nursing educator, said she was honoured to be one of the inductees.
“I see it as an opportunity for professional development and to learn and grow.”
The event also celebrated International Nurses Day, which is held on May 12 every year, and marks the contribution nurses make to society.
Professor Karien Jooste, Head of the Department of Nursing Science at CPUT, said the event showed how nursing colleagues at the Western Cape’s four major tertiary institutions were working together to the benefit of the nursing profession.
