Dr. Bell Receives the first
Distinguished Career in
Nursing Award
Each year, the Chamberlain Care Awards recognize and honor outstanding,
notable, and accomplished Chamberlain University alumni who are making
a difference in the profession of nursing and their communities. Chamberlain
recognized Dr. Melani Bell as the first annual Chamberlain Care Awards
2022 Distinguished Career in Nursing Award recipient. The Distinguished
Career in Nursing Award recognizes a nurse alumnus with more than 10
years of professional experience, whose clinical practice is exemplary, whose
contributions beyond expectations, and who has generously offered their time
and talents to meet other nurses. Dr. Bell was presented with a certificate and
gift card. Dr. Bell was awarded this honor during a video shoot with her nursing
school mentee, a daughter of a lifelong friend. Dr. Bell stated “The Lord knows
the desires of my heart and has gifted me with the passion to mentor others
placed in my life passing the stethoscope, so they’ll have the tools, love, and
compassion necessary to achieve their goals in becoming a Registered Nurse. I
couldn’t have achieved this prestigious award and milestone without the parents
who’ve placed their children in my lives and my nursing village of friends who’ve
walked this 21-year journey with me sharing their knowledge and expertise!
Much love to you all this is for US!” Congratulations Dr. Bell!
