TWU student receives
national nursing faculty fellowship
8/17/07
DENTON —
Jose Alejandro, a doctoral student in nursing at Texas Woman’s
University, recently was awarded a Promise of Nursing for
Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Faculty Fellowship from the Foundation
of the National Student Nurses’ Association (FNSNA).
Mr. Alejandro is
one of 67 students in the nation and 10 in the state awarded
a faculty fellowship from the FNSNA. The foundation awarded
fellowships to graduate students in California, Georgia, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee,
Texas and Washington.
As a fellowship
recipient, he will receive a $7,500 stipend for his 2007-2008
TWU tuition and fees.
“Receiving
this fellowship allows me the opportunity to continue my doctoral
studies full time for the next school year. This will bring
me closer in completing my degree plan and eventually a career
in nursing education,” said Mr. Alejandro, RN, MSN,
MBA, CCM. “This was definitely an honor to receive this
fellowship from the FNSNA. My nursing education has truly
come full circle since I was a member of the National Student
Nurses Association and served as state secretary during my
undergraduate nursing program.”
Mr. Alejandro is
currently vice president of the National Association of Hispanic
Nurses, president-elect of the DFW Chapter of the Case Management
Society of America and serves on the Board of Directors for
the Texas Nurses Association District 4.
The FNSNA’s
Promises of Nursing Regional Faculty Fellowship program seeks
to address the nurse educator shortage by providing funding
for registered nurses pursuing graduate education to prepare
them for a career as a nurse educator.
The FNSNA was created
in 1969 to honor Frances Tompkins, the association’s
first executive director. Organized exclusively for charitable
and educational purposes, the Foundation awards scholarships
to qualified nursing students. Since 1974, the FNSNA has awarded
over $2 million dollars in scholarships to undergraduate nursing
students.
