On Working in the Community:
"It's different than a hospital but I'm still getting the experience. I'm with the same patients day in and day out, so it really helps me individualize my care. I know in the future wherever my life may take me in my nursing career, I'll be able to effectively communicate with different patients."
On Receiving a Nursing Scholarship:
"The scholarship that I got from Labouré helped me when I was going through a lot personally. Being in school, and having the support and the instructors that I had helped me push through. Now I am able to register for my boards, and I will make a difference in a lot of people's lives."
On What It Takes to Be a Nurse:
"Nursing as a career takes a real special kind of person. If they’re looking at nursing as a way to make a living, you can do that anywhere. If they’re looking at nursing as a way to change a life, or to contribute to someone's life so that they remember you, then you know you’ve got the right person."
On Treating a Young Radiation Therapy Patient:
"Patients of that age need anesthesia [to remain still during treatment] but it’s not ideal to put a patient under every day, so we spent the beginning course of treatment working with Ashlynn and her parents to do the treatments without the anesthesia. She did it without any problems at all. It was such a huge victory for all of us."
On Medical Coding at Labouré:
"When my children were older, I decided to go back to school. I knew what coding was, and after meeting the chairperson, I knew that it was something I wanted to do. Even though it was online, it still had the feel of being in a classroom."
We believe that our students are worth every penny.
They have what cannot be taught: compassion and a true calling to care for others.
Expected grad date August 2018
“A scholarship would assist in funding a future where I am able to give back to my local community. There is a tremendous need for compassionate individuals in the smaller Boston area neighborhoods and I plan to personally dedicate my time and effort to creating a more positive healthcare experience for the people in my community."
Graduated December 2017
“I work two jobs just to have the chance to live my dream… nursing is my passion and it is what I’m born to do. No matter what obstacles come my way, I try to stay positive and keep on going.”
Expected grad date April 2019
“I will be paying for college on my own without help from my parents. This is not to say that they don’t help in other ways. They are my emotional support and that’s something that means more to me than any amount of money.”
Expected grad date April 2018
“Being a nurse…is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the health of ordinary people… a nurse never runs from a person in need.”
