Connecticut Nurses’ Foundation
|
The Connecticut Nurses’ Foundation is an organization created expressly for the purpose of preserving the heritage of nursing and advancing both the art and science of nursing.
Through historical research and the awarding of scholarships and research awards, the foundation ensures the availability of nurses committed to a research-based practice, while at the same time advancing the scientific foundation for the practice. The Foundation is committed to the support of its nursing peers, many of whom could not engage in academic pursuits without financial assistance.

Honor a Colleague
|
|
Since the first two $100 scholarships were awarded in 1988, the CNF has awarded over $31,000 to Connecticut nurses and student nurses. We’d like to do more! We’d like to suggest a meaningful way to honor a colleague(s)…
- Do you work with or know a nurse whose expertise you admire?
- Do you know a nurse who mentored you and continues to mentor you and other nurses?
- Is there a nurse in your community who, although retired, gives many hours to community service agencies?
- Is there a nurse you would simply like to honor because he / she is a dear friend and valued colleague?
- Is there a faculty member (or group) or a student (or a class of students) you would like to honor?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, take a few minutes and complete the brief form below. Send the form with a monetary gift to the Connecticut Nurses Foundation at 377 Research Parkway, Meriden, CT 06450-7160. We will help you honor that colleague in an upcoming issue of the Connecticut Nursing News by sharing the name of each honoree and the information provided unless requested otherwise.
