Beebe Healthcare medical staff awards nursing scholarships

The Beebe Healthcare medical staff members recognize the support of nursing education as a very important component of its mission in the delivery of healthcare in Sussex County. The medical staff created the nursing scholars program to support the education of eligible candidates in the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing, which includes the candidate’s expressed intention of working in the local community after graduation. The scholarship recognizes exceptional clinical performance in nursing, in accordance with the criteria established by the student services committee of the School of Nursing.

Three senior students are the recipients of the scholarship this year: Abigail Derrickson from Lewes, Makayla Hosler from Dover and Ava Moroz of Millsboro. Each of the recipients has received offers for employment at Beebe Healthcare after graduation.

These students chose to attend the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing because of its reputation of a rigorous program with graduates who have excellent clinical skills. The School of Nursing has a long, proud history and tradition of excellence in nursing education. It remains the only community hospital-based institution in Delaware to continue to fulfill this mission.

All of the recipients plan to continue their education after graduation.
