Empowering Dreams: My Journey from Scholar to
Acute Dialysis Nurse
|
|
NNCC 2020 Career Mobility Scholarship winner Ethan Wyse recently contacted NNCC with an update on his successes! Here is what Ethan said:
Recently I graduated from nursing school! I've taken a position as an acute dialysis nurse. This was made possible because I was awarded the career mobility scholarship offered by the NNCC, and I would like to take a moment to highlight not only the way the scholarship helped me obtain my nursing degree, but also take the time to acknowledge the sense of community the NNCC cultivates. The scholarship allowed me to complete my prerequisites in a timely manner; without it, I know I wouldn't be where I am now.

The way the NNCC has interacted with me through the years I've been in the renal community has been second to none. There's always someone on the other end of a phone call or email dedicated to bettering the field for our patients and ourselves. I am working towards my own CNN certification, and I am thankful that I have the ability to work towards this goal. For all those involved in the renal community take a moment to think about the Commission and all they can do for you and your patients. I look forward to a long relationship with the NNCC!
