“This award was of great assistance in funding my second year of Studies and allowing me to complete the program on a full-time basis.  During my second year, I had the opportunity to complete three clinical placements, including Geriatrics, Acute Medical and Acquired Brain Injury.  They were all excellent and rich learning placements, and provided the opportunity to apply the academic theory into practice.”

“The award was more than money.  The recognition built my confidence.  It made me feel a part of something larger than myself.”

“I sincerely appreciated the financial assistance received from the Registered Psychiatric Nurses Foundation not only for the actual tuition dollars but also for what it represented.  I felt that fellow RPNs and supporting Donors were providing moral support and encouragement as we worked to accomplish the next goal in our academic and professional life.”

MICHELE BOBOWSKI

“The RPN Foundation has awarded me a grant in support of my research on Tobacco Control within the context of homeless populations in Winnipeg.  As one of the first RPNs accepted into the Graduate Nursing Program at the University of Manitoba, I presented a poster highlighting my research at the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit conference in Toronto in November of 2008.”

KRISTA WALDIE

“The award helped me immensely with some of the payment towards my tuition. By having that extra money it made life a lot easier for me as I was also working to help pay for schooling. I have since graduated and received my Psychiatric Nursing Degree in 2008 and am currently working in Brandon.”
