Two Nursing Students Receive GANE Scholarships

April 14, 2023

The Georgia Association of Nursing Education (GANE) recently awarded two Georgia Southern University nursing students with scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each.

Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) student Danielle Rukezo was awarded the Sarah Helen Killgore Scholarship. First awarded in 1991, the Sarah Helen Killgore Scholarship is given annually to acknowledge future nurses who are committed to excellence in nursing.

Second-year Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) student Maureen Quinn was awarded the Spillman-Bischoff Scholarship, which is given to a nursing graduate student who has demonstrated potential as a nursing leader in the field of nursing education.

Quinn, who currently resides in Darien, Georgia, is working toward her family nurse practitioner and stated the funds received will be used to assist her in paying for tuition, books and fees associated with obtaining her degree.

To be considered for a scholarship with GANE, students had to be currently enrolled in a Georgia nursing program and complete an application process.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
