Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center offered its congratulations to the most recent Auxiliary Volunteer Foundation scholarship recipients: Cassandra Haldeman, Amanda Greer, Nicole Hicks, Elizabeth Aldridge, Haden Clark, Christine Colvin and Sandra Campbell.
According to a press release, the Auxiliary Foundation awards quarterly scholarships for PBRMC employees and their children or grandchildren who apply, showcase a GPA of 3.5 or higher and are working towards either improving upon or starting their medical career.
Greer, Hicks and Aldridge are working towards their associate of nursing at Three Rivers College.
Greer wants to follow in her mom’s footsteps and work at PBRMC. Her mother, Cheryl Gulley, has worked for PBRMC’s pharmacy for 13 years. Greer looks to graduate as an RN next May with hopes to work in PBRMC’s intensive care unit.
Hicks has worked for PBRMC for three years in laboratory services and is attending school to become an RN. Aldridge has been with PBRMC for 9 years as an EKG technician and is attending school to also become an RN.
Clark also attends TRC, pursuing his associate of health science, and he is in the Occupational Therapy Assistance Program.
Haldeman is currently attending Kentucky Christian University Yancey School of Nursing. She’s hopeful to one day work in healthcare like her parents, who both work or have worked at PBRMC.
Colvin is attending Capella University and acquiring her bachelor and master’s degrees in nursing. She’s worked with PRBMC for seven years as an RN in the Wound Center.
Campbell is attending Southeast Missouri State University and is working towards her BSN. She’s been with PBRMC for nine years and is receiving higher education to be a “better preceptor for incoming nurses and nursing students.”
All scholarship recipients were awarded $1,750 each.
PBRMC’s Auxiliary is made up of volunteers who run the PBRMC’s gift shop. All of the gift shop proceeds go towards scholarships.
