The Rutgers School of Nursing–Camden celebrated sixty-three nursing students with a pinning ceremony on January 17. The ceremony marked a significant milestone, the successful completion of the students’ rigorous educational requirements that will enable them to sit for the state licensure examination and transition into professional nursing practice.

Nancy M.H. Pontes, Ph.D., R.N., F.N.P.-B.C., F.N.A.P., received the ‘Innovations in the Continuum of Care Award’ from the Organization of Nurse Leaders of New Jersey (ONL NJ) at its Annual Holiday Meeting held Dec. 7, 2018. The award recognizes Pontes, an assistant professor with the Rutgers School of Nursing–Camden, for her leadership in implementing a nursing project that has had significant outcomes outside of the acute care setting. Pontes is a family nurse practitioner whose academic interests are focused on the improvement of population health trans-nationally.
