Summer Grider of Pocahontas has been awarded the Florence Nightingale Scholarship.
Grider is a 1990 graduate of Pocahontas High School. She is the daughter of Linda Davenport of Pocahontas and the late Mick Burr of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She is seeking a degree in nursing.
The Nightingale Scholarship is sponsored by the BRTC nursing faculty and staff and is awarded to registered nursing students in their second semester of the program. Recipients are chosen based on qualities that exemplify the spirit of caring embodied by Florence Nightingale. These nurses are motivators and visionaries who contribute to the redefining of the profession of nursing.
