This fund provides immediate, hands-on help by covering academic and professional needs from NCLEX study guides and required clinical equipment to conference travel and global learning opportunities. Donors can choose exactly how they want to make an impact, making each gift personal, meaningful and directly felt by the nursing students it supports.
