WELCOME TO THE NEW SITE!

If you are here, then it means  you made it to our new website. You maybe wondering why we changed sites and URL’s. Well, after much considerastion and decision we wanted a site that could change and adapt with our needs and changing members without the need for a member to have to ‘code’ the site, which is what happens when webistes are built. Likewise, we wanted a user-friendly and ‘free’ site so that all board members could post to the site while keeping costs down so that we could do more good nursing works with our funding. Look around and check out the website/blog and let us know what you think. Thank you, as always, for being a member of Sigma Theta Tau International, Theta Lambda Chapter.

Welcome to Nursing and Sigma Theta Tau at Missouri State University!

Welcome to the website for the Theta Lambda Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International. Sigma Theta Tau is the international honor society of nursing professionals. The honor society was founded in 1922 by 6 nursing students from Indiana University Training School for Nurses. Since that time, the organization has grown to hold chapters in almost every country in the world, promoting the education of nurses and health world wide.

The Theta Lambda chapter was started in 1983 and chartered in 1986 at Southwest Missouri State University, in the heart of the Ozarks. Much has changed since the chapter’s original charter. Today the chapter has grown to over 300 active and recently active members, with many local member alumni. The chapter is still housed at its original University, but in 2005 Southwest Missouri State University met a long-time goal in becoming Missouri State University. The chapter and the university nursing department have been leaders in the promotion of professional nursing, research, advanced education, and clinical excellence in the surrounding area.
