Cedarville University Nursing Graduate Wins Global Health Care Award

Caring for children with compassion and clinical excellence is the calling of every pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP). Sharlene Lansiquot, a 2024 graduate of Cedarville University's Master of Science in Nursing PNP program, is pursuing that calling with a global mindset.

Lansiquot was recently honored by the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) with the 2024 Global Health Care Special Interest Group Nurse Practitioner Student Award.

The award recognizes one student who contributes to the healthcare of an underserved community. Lansiquot's highlighted work was with the Philadelphia FIGHT Pediatric Clinic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she completed her clinical practicum.

As a first-generation Haitian/St. Lucian-American from Brooklyn, New York, Lansiquot has seen firsthand the need for clinicians who will advocate for the health needs of all children, with a particular focus on racialized children.
