Foundation<br />
Meridian Health believes that education is a life-long process. To support this process, a large number of generously<br />
donated scholarships are available for team member students who are preparing to enter the nursing profession,<br />
as well as nurses who are seeking advanced degrees.<br />
A Magnet Moment<br />
“My Magnet Moment encompasses providing quality care to patients and family members. I believe it is essential to also serve as<br />
a mentor to new nurses, exemplifying nurses as teachers. This will help us continue the strong legacy of the profession. My special<br />
Magnet moment occurred in 2007, when I was awarded the prestigious Mildred Rosa Trust Presidential Award. This prestigious<br />
award meant a lot to me not only because it provided financial support to continue with my education, but it also was a special<br />
moment of recognition by John Lloyd, Dr. Hader, and other Meridian team members. It also meant a lot to me to have<br />
my nurse manager, Kathy Armstrong, there to support me.<br />
It is truly rewarding to be employed in an environment that supports and enhances professional development. This environment<br />
supports the force of quality improvement. As a result, I will achieve one of my career goals of attaining a Master’s of Science<br />
Degree in Nursing. I plan to utilize my degree to continue the legacy in nursing and teach nursing students.”<br />
