✨ A scholarship can do more than pay for school — it can change your life. ✨ For one nursing student, receiving an AORN Foundation scholarship became a powerful affirmation that her dreams and goals matter — not just for herself, but for her family and community. “My journey into nursing began during a pivotal time in my life — while I was expecting my first child,” says Yessenia Wilson. “Now, with my daughter being 7 months old, this scholarship takes on even greater significance. It allows me to show her firsthand how hard work and determination can truly make a difference, not just for oneself but for our entire community.” 👩‍👧💙 Yessenia says the support goes beyond the financial aspect. It reinforces her belief that representation matters in healthcare, and she is committed to using this opportunity to excel in her studies and serve as a role model for other aspiring nurses of color. 🌎✨ Her message to the Foundation: “Thank you for investing in my future and, by extension, in the future of diverse representation in perioperative nursing. I am honored to be a recipient of this scholarship and promise to make the most of this incredible opportunity,” she says. 🙏💙 📅 The AORN Foundation academic scholarship application for the 2025-2026 school year is open until June 15. 🚀 Ready to take the next step in your nursing career?
