A Record 274 Award Winners

RNFBC is proud to announce that a record number of 274 bursaries worth $276,000 were given out in the most recent award cycle.

While this was a record of giving for the Foundation, the number of applicants far exceeded what we were able to award.  This demand demonstrates the pressing need to support both students hoping to become nurses and nurses who are furthering their education in order to meet the requirements of the health care system.

Thank You!

As we enter the fall academic season, RNFBC would like to give a shout out to all the people and organizations that are so important to health care in British Columbia.  First, we wish to recognize our nurse educators who work very hard to instill knowledge and skills into  our future generation of nurses.   We are also very thankful for all the students who have chosen to enter the nursing profession and who will be at our bedsides, in our homes and in the many other places nurses work to help meet our health care needs.

We are also especially thankful to all the donors whose support makes it possible for the RNFBC to provide bursaries for nursing students at all levels of learning.  The Foundation has committed to a minimum of $200,000 in financial support to student nurses annually and we truly appreciate the continued support from all of you who help to make this happen.

Back to School

September is traditionally back to school for many students. For those aspiring to be nurses it may be their first term in an RN, LPN or RPN education program or continuing in their second or third year on their way to entering nursing practice. For others already licensed it may mean advancing their nursing practice through education to improve the health care of British Columbians of all ages and in all settings and practices.

To all those students we thank you for choosing nursing as your career – one of the noblest of professions and we wish you well in your studies and career.

To donors – your contributions help to support these nurses enter the profession and advance their practice. Thank you for your contributions to date and we look forward to your continuing contributions.
