Hello, I am patiently awaiting for the application for LPN to RN scholarship keto become available as Inwas told at the job fair it would open in October, but I haven’t seen it as of yet. Do you happen to know around or when it will be available as I am most eager to apply? Thank you for your time. -Anjoli Holbert
Hello Anjoli,
Our apologies for the delay in the scholarship applications being available. The PCNA board will be reviewing a final version at their November 7th board meeting. If the 2020 applications are approved, they will be up on the website the following week. If you email me at office@piercecountynurses.com, I’d be happy to send you the application as soon as it’s finalized.
Thank you for your interest!
