Audrey Rath scholarship: (Designated for NPs returning to school to advance their

Applications Deadline - October 15th, 2012

Audrey worked as the advanced practice consultant to the arizona state board of
nursing for many years. She was a pioneer for nurse practitioners in Arizona-many
of our current daily practices are directly related to Audrey's infulence in expanding
our scope of practice. For all those who tried to stand in the way saying "NURSES
can't possibly do that"! Audrey was able to move past them showing that indeed nurses
CAN provide primary care.
This scholarship was established to keep the memory of Audrey alive so that we appreciate
the strides we've made as being one of the top states in the entire US to practice
in as an NP-much of the credit for this goes to Audrey.
