Teberah “Nurse T” Alexander also announces the launch of the Future Nurses Scholarship for minority students
Teberah Alexander, RN, BSN, also known as “Nurse T,” announced today that the second annual Nurses Program for children 5-14 years of age is open for registration. The event will take place on Saturday May 4 from 1-5 pm at Renaissance High School (6566 W. Outer Dr. Detroit, MI 48235) as part of National Nurses Week.
The free program gives children a hands-on view of nursing and healthcare professions through interactive workshops. It will introduce these crucial fields to kids directly from the source and celebrate that nursing is not only a job – it is a calling. The program will also appeal to health care professionals, hospital administrators, pharmacists and teachers.
Alexander is also excited to announce the launch of Nurse T’s Future Nurses Scholarship. The scholarship provides financial assistance to qualified fulltime nursing students to help them complete their degrees and enter the nursing profession. The scholarship is open to all minority students, regardless of age, sexual orientation, disability, gender, gender identity, or religious affiliation. To qualify, the student must be pursuing an Associate Degree, Baccalaureate, Masters, PhD or doctorate nursing degree at an accredited university or school of nursing. Other requirements apply.
