UACCM SNO Creates Valentine's Cards for Local Residents

The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) Student Nursing Organization (SNO) has given back during Valentine's Day by creating Valentine's Day cards for those in local nursing and rehab facilities. 

"I think this project helps remind our students that nursing is rooting in compassion," said UACCM Director of Practical Nursing and SNO Sponsor Angie Moore-Strickland. She continued, "It allows the students to practice the heart of nursing by simply spreading kindness, honoring dignity, and reminding every resident they are valued and never forgotten." 

Lindsay Fort, a Level 2 Practical Nursing student, said, "It's important to make people smile and this project does that. One note can make someone's day."  

This Valentine's Day tradition for SNO started in Spring 2022 and has been done every year since, seeing hundreds of cards go out to several residents from places such as Brookridge Cove in Morrilton, Superior in Conway, Legacy Heights in Russellville, and more. 

"Our hope is that the Valentine cards lighten their heart and lets them know that they are loved and cared for," Fort said.

If I had realized all the resources and support available to students at UACCM, I would have started here sooner," said Shelbi. Shelbi notes the benefit of joining student organizations for her future, but notes how the cost to join can deter students from participating.  "I'm joining Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society because I know that group can open doors for me in the future. People may not realize how big of an impact their donation can make."  Like those before her, Shelbi has also benefited from the Student Emergency Fund.  "I have had to borrow money from the Student Emergency Fund for gas to get to school. I'm thankful the Stude...
