Urdu“Supporting the next generation of registered nurses is essential to meeting the nation’s healthcare needs and ensuring access to quality care,” said Dr. Deborah Trautman, AACN President and Chief Executive Officer. “On behalf of academic nursing, AACN applauds QGenda for their commitment to making a real difference in the lives of nurses who are taking their first steps as future leaders of the profession.”
QGenda, a leader in healthcare workforce management solutions, approached the Foundation for Academic Nursing about providing support for nursing students in areas of significant need. The QGenda-AACN Scholarship will be awarded to students in three categories: entry-level baccalaureate programs, accelerated programs for college graduates transitioning into nursing (baccalaureate and master’s), and graduate nursing programs (master’s and doctoral). To apply, students must complete an online application, provide demographic information and details on academic achievement, and submit a short essay outlining their career goals after graduation. Applications are being accepted now for the first award to be presented in July 2023. Click here to submit an application.
“To celebrate and support nurses, QGenda is thrilled to be launching this new scholarship program to honor the nation’s most trusted profession,” said Mark Geremia, QGenda Chief Marketing Officer. “We are committed to supporting nurses and the essential contributions they make to keep individuals and communities safe.”
