Testimonial from SGNA Member, Kimberly Grubbs, LPN MA & 2007 Educational Course Scholarship Recipient:
Dear SGNA ;
I want to extend my sincere thanks for the scholarship that I received from SGNA . It allowed me to attend the 2007 National Conference in Baltimore .
I have been an LPN for 15 years and had been planning to finish my RN this year. The scholarship enabled me to still attend the conference. I have been to the SGNA conference for the past 5 years in a row. Financially, I would have had to make a choice this year between school and attending. The scholarship let me do both! I was able to go to the conference that I have come to look forward to every May. I get new information each time. I carry it back to my department at the VA in San Francisco- GI Clinic.
We make changes based on many things that we learn from the conference.
It helps us remain evidence-based in our approach. Because of this scholarship, I was able to run into two co-workers from Hawaii who I had not seen in over 10 years. They were attending for the first time in a long time from Hawaii . I was going to take the LPN certification exam. Unfortunately, it has been dissipated for the LPN's. Now that I am set to complete my RN in May of 2008, I will return to take the RN certification exam(ABCGN). Thank you thank you thank you! I could not have come this far without your help!
I urge anyone who is debating on applying. Go for it! Like the little engine who could, you can!

course of daily practice. The results might convince you to make changes in your practice, and could also benefit others. Research may be done individually or as a collaborative effort.
