What Our Scholarship Recipients Say

"Education is a privilege, & I’m grateful to be completing my BSN. I love my career as a RN looking to advance my career and pursue an upper management or director role in the future when I am ready to move on from my current role as bedside nurse caring for my community."

"Traveling has significantly advanced both my professional and personal development. Professionally, it has expanded my nursing skills, providing opportunities to learn and adapt in diverse healthcare settings, making me a more versatile and independent nurse. On a personal level, it has taught me to value quality family time, fostering a deeper appreciation for the moments spent with loved ones, which has enriched my overall life experience."

"Being a travel nurse has allowed me to experience different environments, cultures and educational opportunities. It has definitely broadened my knowledge and being able to meet people of diverse backgrounds."

"My present traveling has advanced my professional and personal development in the areas of the knowledge I have gained. My skills have gone along with broadening my social skills and helped me continue to grow as a human being. With traveling, you gain resilience, a drive to succeed, and the drive to complete your assignments with a sense of pride."

"Traveling has been everything! My perspectives on life has been greatly enhanced directly related to multitude of experiences travel has afforded. The wide array of skills that have been sharpened and the skill sets that have been learned, would not have been gained had I remained a staff nurse stuck in one area and mired in one be care acuity. Beyond the clinical growth, being privileged to traverse this grand country has been immeasurably life altering. There has been healing and nurturing that has only been possible by seeing the sun rise and set on different horizons; each one exerts an influence that helps to give everything a do tremendously more meaning."
