The NLN selected the WLN based on their work in 2020 growing membership, advancing quality professional development programs and establishing two sustainable scholarship funds. Dr. Rommelfaenger shared ”It’s an honor to be recognized for the work of all our colleagues within the WLN. We are committed to advancing our mission of impacting the lifelong learning of nurses in diverse health care environments, both in academia and in health care settings.”

New this year, the WLN renamed one of their scholarship funds established in 2020 to honor nurse educators who lost their lives due to COVID-19. Consider making a tax-deductible donation to support one of the WLN’s new sustainable scholarships: the WLN Nursing Heroes Scholarship Fund.
