"This fellowship gives you the tools you will need to make those impactful differences moving forward." - Gertrude Thomas, DNP, MSN, RN, CNML Gertrude's journey from nursing assistant to nurse manager at the University of Minnesota Medical Center showcases the power of perseverance. As a minority nurse leader, the AONL Nurse Manager Fellowship caught her eye, but the cost nearly held her back. https://lnkd.in/gq3i4p-x Thanks to the AONL Foundation Scholarship, Gertrude was able to pursue this growth opportunity. "My biggest takeaway is the visibility and confidence it has landed me as a nurse leader.” Gertrude's message to aspiring nurse leaders, especially those from minority backgrounds: "Don't turn away because you think it's too expensive. It's not going to hurt you to apply - you might be the one standing here." You can help make stories like Gertrude's possible.
