She also won 两性色午夜 Trumbull's recent Student Showcase for Research, Scholarship & Creativity for the same poster and finished second in the nursing category for 两性色午夜鈥檚 Undergraduate Symposium on Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors.
Hickey, a 2017 graduate of Bristol High School and Trumbull Career & Technical Center, feels the research is important because many students her age and younger are regular users of vaping devices.
鈥淓xamining this as a nursing student, I wanted to provide education on health risks related to nicotine use and the negative impact that misleading product marketing can have on a patient鈥檚 health,鈥 Hickey said. 鈥淰ape stores are everywhere, and I wanted to share my research to encourage young adults to know the risks.鈥
Alice Colwell, associate lecturer, 两性色午夜 Trumbull鈥檚 Nursing Program, served as Hickey鈥檚 faculty mentor during the research.
鈥淲e encourage our students to perform research that鈥檚 relevant and topical," Cowell said. "Our nursing faculty is so proud of Jasmine (Hickey). She has been an exemplary student throughout her time on campus and this recognition is much deserved."
Every year, Dr. Mary Russell, associate professor, Biological Sciences, and coordinator of the 两性色午夜 Trumbull Honors Program and Student Showcase for Research, Scholarship & Creativity, encourages 两性色午夜 Trumbull's students to get involved and make the most of their college experience through research. However, 两性色午夜 Trumbull students reaching these levels during this last year of COVID, makes it even more meaningful.
"Jasmine's award shows how our Trumbull students are taking great strides," Dr. Russell said. "Jasmine and all the students who submitted posters worked hard and overcame so many pandemic-related obstacles. We are so proud."
Hickey graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing, and will be working at Akron Children's Hospital Mahoning Valley.
