The American Nurses Association (ANA) and Capella University have extended their working relationship through 2018 to focus on supporting and educating nurses who want to advance the nursing profession and impact quality of care and patient safety through nursing leadership.
Through this engagement, Capella University and the ANA Leadership Institute are now offering a “Nurse Leader Scholarship” for nurses who want to advance their career and move into expanded clinical and leadership roles. The scholarships, ranging from $4,500-$7,500, are available for Capella University’s Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program and Doctor of Nursing (DNP) program. Applicants for the scholarship are required to be ANA members as of May 1, 2016, new to Capella and must apply and start by September 12th.
“ANA is excited that Capella is again offering this scholarship to our members and that we have an extended agreement to continue to advance nursing leadership,” said Nancy Robert, PhD, MBA, RN, ANA Chief Product and Marketing Officer.
ANA, the nation’s leading professional organization representing the interest of the nation’s 3.4 million registered nurses, chose Capella as a partner on the ANA Leadership Institute. The ANA Leadership Institute was designed for nurses to enhance their leadership skills to improve care delivery and to impact the overall health of society.
“ANA’s focus on advancing the nursing profession directly aligns with Capella’s mission to educate nurses to be leaders in transforming health care,” said F. Patrick Robinson, PhD, RN, FAAN, Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at Capella University. “We are pleased to continue our support for our joint efforts to improve care through affordable advanced nursing education that allows professional nurses to meet their education and career goals.”
