Sigma Theta Tau International Rho Iota Chapter

---

Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society's seeks to foster excellence, scholarship, and leadership in nursing with the purpose of improving healthcare worldwide. The society promotes the use of nursing research in health care delivery and makes its resources available to all people and institutions interested in the latest knowledge in nursing care.

The Rho Iota chapter exists to promote these same initiatives for and through its members' endeavors in research and education. Through an annual Research Day, educational workshops, research grants, and achievement awards, members have an opportunity to develop leadership and be recognized as nurse professionals.

Eligibility criteria require achievement in nursing. Students in baccalaureate program are eligible if one-half the curriculum is completed and their GPA is in the upper 35% of the class (minimum of 3.0). Graduate students must have a 3.50 GPA and have completed one fourth of the curriculum.

Dues are $70 annually ($45 international and $25 local). Dues include subscriptions to the Journal of Nursing Scholarship and Reflections. For further information, please visit the Sigma Theta Tau International web site at www.nursingsociety.org.
