SHELTON STATE NURSING INSTRUCTOR HONORED WITH AWARD

Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Shelton State Community College nursing instructor, Carol Mapp, has been selected as the 2016 recipient of the Cindajo Overton Outstanding Nurse Award. Given in association with the Alabama State Nurses Association, the award acknowledges outstanding accomplishments and contributions to nursing.

Mapp, a twenty-three year Shelton State nursing instructor, was recently asked about her philosophy on nursing care. “Compassion for people has always given me direction,” said Mapp. “I am so grateful for the mentors in my life, and I hope I have mentored others to provide compassionate care.”

“This is a well-deserved award,” said Gladys Hill, Associate Dean of Health Services at Shelton State. “We are all so proud of Carol’s accomplishments and what she shares with our students.”

Mapp will be honored at the Alabama State Nurses Association Awards Luncheon on October 15 in Huntsville, Alabama.
