Nursing
program gets grant
by Kalamalama staff
|
| The HPU School of Nursing was recently
awarded a $34,000 Advance Practice Nursing Traineeship Grant
from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health
Resources and Service Administration. |
|
|
|
| The grant allows HPU to award Master of Science
in Nursing (MSN) students with one-time, partial-tuition scholarships.
The recipients must demonstrate a willingness to work in underserved
areas of nursing and have their employment tracked for three
years after graduation. |
|
|
| HPU’s Graduate Nursing program received a
similar grant of $32,000 last year. That award allowed HPU the
opportunity to award eight graduate nursing students with one-time
tuition scholarships for the fall 2002 semester. |
| |
| “This award is an exciting opportunity for
the University to offer second-year masters in science and post-masters
certificate students partial-tuition scholarships,” said
Dr. Patricia Lange-Otsuka, MSN program chair. “The funding
will also help get more advanced practice nurses out into the
community and provide greater access to health care.” For
