Helping me to pursue my dreams
Emergency Department Nurse Georgia received the Ken Russell Brookes Academy Scholarship and completed the Graduate Certificate of Nursing – an opportunity she feels has elevated her knowledge and skills.
“The scholarship opportunity and study has allowed me to deliver a more comprehensive and in-depth level of care to my patients,” she said.
Before Ken passed away, Georgia was fortunate to be able to meet Ken in person. “Meeting Ken was very special. He was such a kind man, and it was so nice to put a face to the name of the donor who made this scholarship possible for me! His generosity is incredibly special, and he was genuinely interested in understanding my role and my dreams for my career.”
