WOCNCB Announces 2011 NIWI Scholarship Winner
Congratulations to Linda R. Droste, RN, MSN, CWOCN, of Richmond, VA
The WOCNCB sponsors an annual Scholarship to the Nurse in Washington Internship (NIWI) in order to empower each winner to participate in important dialogs about patient care and healthcare reform with at the local, state and national levels.
Each year, the experience, enthusiasm and passion of every scholarship applicant makes the selection of our scholarship winner a challenge. Linda's application stood out because of her work as a Veteran's Association employee, volunteer involvement at the VA and WOCN Society, and because of her proven communication abilities as a writer and presenter.
We look forward to Linda applying knowledge she gains at NIWI to positively influence the delivery and reimbursement of healthcare for the specialties of wound, ostomy, continence care and foot care.
The Nurse in Washington Internship is an annual project of the Nursing Organizations Alliance designed to inform nurses about the legislative process. The 2011 program takes place March 13 through 15, 2011.
