Emily Sorenson, a student in the Burdick Health Occupation Training program, received a Nursing Excellence Award last week at the Dakota College Nursing program graduation. She was the sole recipient of the award this year. Emily has been on a career ladder track since her entry into the CNA program at Burdick in 2009. Since that time she has achieved Achiever status with Certifications in CPR, AED, Standard First Aid and her ND Certified Nurse’s Assistant License.  She continued her studies at Dakota College to receive her LPN Degree and passed her State Boards and will now graduate with her Registered Nurse Degree.

Her instructors at the college spoke of her as being a “hard worker and very dedicated. She can always be counted on to get the job done. She is very thorough with her work and strives for the best.”  Congratulations to Emily on her outstanding accomplishments.
