The Arkansas Center for Nursing recently named University of Arkansas nursing graduate Eryn Zimmerebner to its 2017 40 Nurse Leaders Under 40.

Zimmerebner works as a nurse manager in the outpatient infusion unit at Conway Regional Medical Center. She earned a bachelor's degree from the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing in 2014 and an associate's degree in nursing from the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton in 2013.

The 40 Nurse Leaders Under 40 program honors emerging nurse leaders in the state who are under the age of 40. The center chose the 40 honorees based on how each applicant stood out among peers in four distinctive areas: commitment to excellence, service and outreach, leadership qualities, and contributions to the advancement of the nursing profession.

The Arkansas Center for Nursing's mission is to promote a culture of health for people in Arkansas by advancing nursing education, practice, leadership and workforce development.
