WELCOME TO NU XI AT-LARGE CHAPTER

A chapter within Region One of Sigma, Nu Xi at-Large Chapter was chartered in 1992 and is affiliated with three university schools of nursing in the San Francisco East Bay Area: California State University East Bay, Holy Names University, and Samuel Merritt University. Celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2017-18, Nu Xi at-Large took the bold step of incorporating as a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation in California on November 15, 2017. In recognition of its efforts to engage members and to collaborate with other Sigma Chapters, Nu Xi received its 11th Chapter Key Award in November 2023.

A person smiling at cameraDescription automatically generatedKrizzia is a first-generation student. Growing up, I witnessed my parents treat other people like their own family, helping them in ways they could. This inspired me to pursue a career aimed at helping others as well. My experience as a dental assistant deepened my interest in healthcare, and my volunteer work at a local hospital where I interacted with nurses and assisted patients solidified my commitment to nursing. In nursing school, I have served as a teaching assistant for Health Assessment and Nursing Intervention classes, supporting my peers. Looking ahead, I aim to deliver holistic care and help my patients and their families navigate their healing journeys as a cardiac nurse. I also intend to explore opportunities to become a nursing educator and clinical instructor. I am excited to start my career in nursing and grow professionally in the field as a Sigma member.

She felt that she was chosen by the nursing profession to continue providing the type of compassionate care that her sister received from nurses while undergoing treatment. She has spent the past two years as a nursing assistant on a bone marrow and CAR-T cell transplant unit at Stanford Health Care, where she developed a strong clinical foundation under the wing of many great nursing minds. In addition to her clinical work, Brianna has been dedicated to volunteer service, supporting young patients as a Sophie’s Place Broadcast Studio volunteer for nearly two years and currently as a newborn hearing screener at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Brianna also treasures the lifelong learning journey that the nursing profession has to offer. As a proud Sigma Theta Tau scholarship recipient, she looks forward to connecting with others in the nursing community and pursuing further excellence in her career.

Continuing Education Webinars:

Nu Xi is continuing its longstanding collaboration with Omicron Delta and Phi Gamma Chapters of Sigma and Our Lady of Fatima University to serve the members of Sigma, particularly members of the sponsoring organizations by providing continuing education/professional development virtual programs offered via Zoom to enhance the professional education and competence of Sigma members.

In order to expand the benefits of the collaboration, a more permanent repository of recorded programs allowing access for up to two years has been developed. Sigma members can view the recordings and submit evaluations for credit without cost by visiting https://bit.ly/CEArchivePortal. The programs are updated so that the most recent 2 years of programming is available at any given time.

  • Volunteers Needed: Oakland Clinic

    By: Audrey Berman Audrey Berman , 4 months ago

    The Order of Malta Clinic of Northern California recently (June 26, 2024) reopened after 6 months doubling its size and the number of uninsured or underinsured clients who can be seen free of charge. As a result, they are seeking current and retired nurses to volunteer at the clinic. Retired Nurses are a wonderful source of volunteers because of their extensive experience as well as time to volunteer. Volunteer duties include:

    • Help with intake and rooming patients on specialty care days and days when providers need more support than staff/volunteers available.
    • New patient pre-appointment visits to gather detailed and essential medical, family and social history, medication history, allergies, prior to the patient's first appointment with provider.
    • Assist with other patient contact projects, outreach and follow-up, capitalizing on nursing training and health care background and experience.

    The ideal is one volunteer shift a week, morning or afternoon, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. or 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. A weekly commitment helps the volunteer keep current with Clinic processes and EHR access.

    You do not need to have a current RN license. Liability coverage is held by the clinic.
