Some Important Facts:
- The nursing profession has been ranked #1 in ethics and trust for 20 of the last 21 years by Gallup.
- Nurses perform basic duties including treating and educating patients and the public about various medical conditions, and providing advice and emotional support.
- Nurses require on-going education and practice to ensure safe, competent quality care is delivered.
- With advanced education, nurses increase their knowledge and skills to conduct research, integrate research into practice, and become educators, leaders, policy makers, and change agents.
- Since commencing, Nevada Nurses Foundation awarded over $205,946 in nursing scholarships to Nevada students enrolled in Certified Nursing Assistant, Associate Degree in Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), Licensed Practical Nursing to Registered Nursing (RN), RN to BSN, Master of Science in Nursing, and Doctorate programs as well as certification programs. The Foundation has also awarded $12,803 in grants for nursing programs, projects, and research.
