Grand Rapids, MI, October 08, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Lydia’s Professional Uniforms and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing have selected two candidates to award with the Lydia’s Professional Uniforms/ AACN Excellence in Academics Nursing Scholarship for the fall 2008 semester. The award is designed to acknowledge the important role nurses play in the health care system and improve access to baccalaureate nursing education programs.
Gina Ryan who is a junior in college, a Navy wife and mother of six is one of the scholarship recipients. Gina attends the University of Oklahoma Health and Science Center where she is currently earning her license as a Registered Nurse. Upon receiving her license she would like to work in Hospice. Her long term goals include opening an assisted living facility/ hospice home. Gina will receive $2500 to put towards her education.
