School of Nursing names Edna W. Wyatt Scholarship recipients
The Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing at Beebe Healthcare announced that Adam Scott, a senior nursing student from Milton, and Kathryn Clausen, a first-year nursing student from Georgetown, are the recipients of the Edna W. Wyatt Scholarship.
The Edna W. Wyatt Scholarship Endowment was created by Mr. and Mrs. G. Edward Wyatt Jr. in memory of Ed’s mother, a 1930 alumna of Beebe School of Nursing. It is awarded to a second-semester, first-year student and/or a senior student who has demonstrated continued academic excellence and has a need for tuition assistance. The scholarship is managed through Beebe Medical Foundation.
The Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing at Beebe Healthcare is the only hospital-based nursing program in Delaware and is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing. The diploma in professional nursing is awarded at the completion of the curriculum, qualifying graduates to be eligible for National Council of State Boards of Nursing NCLEX examination, leading to licensure as a registered nurse. Beebe graduates consistently have high NCLEX pass rates.
The School of Nursing graduating class of 2020 recently achieved a pass rate of 100 percent, and the school was named the No. 1 nursing school in Delaware by RegisteredNursing.org.
