The Florence Nightingale Award, given to Belmont\u2019s Maddie Blakeney, is the program\u2019s highest honor and is given in recognition of excellence in all areas. This award is based\u00a0on feedback from nurse preceptors, nurse educators and the entire health care team at Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Now in its 14th year, the VESNIP Program began\u00a0as a partnership between Belmont School of Nursing and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. It has now expanded to more than 60 students from four area nursing schools. Positions are very competitive and are considered elite opportunities for students from around the region.<\/p>\n<p>Associate Professor of Nursing Dr. Leslie Folds said, \u201cOur students are exceptional and represent Belmont\u2019s values throughout this program. I was extremely impressed by not only the students\u2019 professionalism, but their ability to engage in critical thinking, reflection and incorporation of evidence-based research to the clinical setting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of 16 Belmont nursing students have spent the past seven weeks participating in the Vanderbilt Experience: Student Nurse Internship Program (VESNIP) alongside students from four other regional nursing programs.
