#Creighton’s Ignite Scholars are poised to make a big impact in Arizona’s healthcare scene. 🌵🩺 Last year, students from our ABSN cohort in Phoenix received Ignite scholarships through Arizona’s Department of Health to address the healthcare shortage in the southwest. This month, 43 of these students are practice-ready and heading into their job placements. This initiative is helping to recruit and retain talented and innovative healthcare workers in Arizona. “The pandemic served as a catalyst in my realization that I am deeply driven to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives through direct, hands-on care,” says nursing student Heena Timsina. “It was pivotal in clarifying my true passion for nursing, as it emphasized the crucial role of nurses in advocating for and supporting individuals in vulnerable situations.” 🔗 Read more about Heena and the other Ignite Scholars at the link in our bio. #BrainGain #ArizonaHealthcare
