The Tennessee Nurses Foundation Arthur Davis LPN to RN Scholarship has been awarded to two Jackson State students, Lennisa O. Gray, LPN, of Lexington, Tenn., and Christy N. Spencer, LPN, of Medina, Tenn. Both students are expected to graduate in May 2013.
The TNF Arthur Davis LPN to RN Scholarship is an educational scholarship for those that qualify and are licensed practicing nurses in Tennessee. This scholarship is awarded annually and is $1,000.
I am very passionate about my career as a nurse, said Gray. I am dedicated to providing excellent care to my patients. Completion of this educational program will allow me to make a greater contribution to the nursing profession by teaching me the more advanced skills of a Registered Nurse, she continued.
Fellow recipient, Spencer, said, For many years, I dreamed of becoming a nurse. But, being a young mother, it was just a dream, so I thought. Several years ago I decided it was time to make my dreams a reality. After much hard work and sacrifice, I obtained my LPN in 2007. Over the past several years, Ive worked with some of the most medically involved patients through home health. After the encouragement from family, friends and employers, I realized that I could make a bigger difference by furthering my education. I believe that education is the key to improvement in the nursing field. With my RN, I plan to work hard and deliver the latest interventions and resources available to the patients I serve.
The deadline to file for the upcoming years Arthur Davis LPN to RN Scholarship is November 1. For more information regarding this, email tnf@tnaonline.org or call 615-254-0350.
