Atlantic General Hospital announced this week that applications for the
James G. and Nancy W. Barrett Nursing Scholarship Program are available
beginning April 4. The scholarship program provides selected nursing students
with full payment of tuition and books, health care benefits and flexible
work schedules.
Upon completion of their degree program and after passing the appropriate state licensure exams, scholarship recipients are required to work full-time at Atlantic General Hospital/Health System for one year for each school year in the scholarship program.
The scholarship program is named in honor of James G. and Nancy W. Barrett in recognition of the significant contributions the Barrett family has made to the hospital. James G. Barrett passed away in 2004 while serving as Chairman of the Atlantic General Hospital Board of Directors.
The scholarship program was created in 2000 to address workforce shortages within the healthcare industry. In 2007, the Nursing Scholarship Program graduated two students and is anticipating the May 2008 graduation of an additional four nurses.
While participating in the program, scholarship students are required to work twelve hours per week at Atlantic General Hospital/Health System and maintain full-time status in their academic program.
Nursing Scholarships are available to students enrolled in local community colleges, including Wor-Wic Community College and Delaware Technical Community College, and to Salisbury University juniors and seniors pursuing a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Students enrolled in Salisbury University’s “Fast Track” Bachelor of Science in Nursing program are also eligible for the scholarship.
The program is supported by many local individuals, businesses, and organizations, including Nancy W. Barrett, the Ocean City Lions Club, the Worcester County Department of Economic Development Career Internship Program, the Retired Nurses of Ocean Pines, , and Dr. Roy Cragway, who initiates and organizes the Annual Pool Tournament Shootout. The Atlantic General Hospital Junior Auxiliary Group is planning a Fashion Show to be held on June 25th with proceeds to be donated to the James and Nancy Barrett Nursing Scholarship program.
"The Ocean City Lions Club recognizes the importance of supporting nursing students to help them obtain the best education possible,” said Sean Williams, chairman of the Ocean City Lions Club Scholarship Committee. “With the James and Nancy Barrett Nursing Scholarship program, it is an added benefit that we get to keep these nurses in our area to benefit the local community."
