PROMISE OF NURSING

REGIONAL FACULTY

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM CYCLE

2005/2006

APPLICATION PROCESS

The National League for Nursing (NLN) is proud of its continuing alliance with the National Student Nurses' Foundation, the Johnson & Johnson Company's (J & J) Campaign for Nursing's Future, and selected local communities to award scholarships that support the preparation of nurse educators and scholars for faculty roles. The Promise of Nursing Regional Faculty Scholarship Program is designed to address the nursing shortage and expand the number of faculty prepared to teach in pre-licensure nursing programs. These awards are designed to prepare the greatest number of faculty in the shortest period of time. Highest priority will be given to people entering or enrolled in master's programs who do not currently hold a faculty appointment. While the immediate need is for master's prepared faculty, the concurrent goal is to fund students nearing the completion of doctoral programs who will assume the faculty role. We expect that we can provide scholarships to qualified applicants up to a maximum total of $15,000, for up to two academic years (2005-06, 2006-07) with the available funds.

Hello, I am new to this forum and to the world of Nurse Education. I would like to go back to school for my MSN in nurse ed and have decided that, given professional and personal obligations, the online format is the only way to go. My first questions is regarding a university I am researching called Walden. Has anyone heard of it and is it a well reputed school? It is not accredited by the CCNE (yet), apparently they have applied for it and should get it by next year. Has anyone taken their program and, if so, is it good, challenging, do you learn a lot; is it manageable while working full-time; do the teachers get back to you on time; is it easy to access technologically etc? Thanks for your input!

My second question is regarding money. With all the research I have been doing lately it would appear that Nurse educators are in big demand. Given that information I would have expected more monies out there as incentive to get nurses back to school to pursue this career. Yet I am not finding any scholarships or grants to help me through school and I was hoping I wouldnt have to take out huge school loans (again). I am an RN with a Bachelors in another subject, I am not a minority and I have a job, so I don't seem to fit the bill for any of the scholarships out there. Anyone have any ideas?

I appreciate everyone's input on other online schools they attended. I live in Hawaii and have a 5 month old so the course has to be 100% online. Thanks, Odessa ;)
