Associate Professor Kristina King has earned one of 76 nurse educator fellowships the 伊利诺斯州 Board of Higher Education (IBHE) awarded for the 2024 fiscal year. King has worked in North Park University’s School of Nursing and Health 科学 since 2022.
Each fellowship totals $10,000, and recipients will utilize it for professional development to enhance their practice as nurse educators and their respective institutions’ nursing 项目. IBHE intends this investment will help fill a shortage of healthcare workers with qualified registered nurses.
King is working toward her nursing doctorate at 伊利诺斯州 State University. 她说, “I am grateful for this award, as it helps pay my tuition and allows me to expand my knowledge of the Direct Entry Master of Science in Nursing student population,” whom she educates at North Park.
