This scholarship is established by Chipper Hawthorne, LLC to benefit students enrolled in the Nursing program. I often remember the wonderful health care provided by the nursing staff during my wife's time in the ICU. The support they provided to me made me feel cared for, well-informed, and better able to cope with the situation. Nurses are the health care professionals who spend the most time with patients and their families during their hospital stay. In many ways, nurses end up being fitness coaches and cheerleaders, grief counselors and hand-holders for their patients and their patients' family through the emotional challenges. My wife believed in the power of education and surely had found memories of her caregivers. This scholarship helps pay forward her nurses' passionate care for her to new students entering the field.
