Not only is there a shortage of nurses in the United States, there is also a shortage of nurses prepared for leadership positions within nursing. To foster career mobility, the Arizona Nurses Foundation granted its first two $500 academic scholarships in March, 2001 to two registered nurses who are enrolled in higher degree programs in nursing in Arizona.

The mission of the Arizona Nurses Foundation is to enhance the development of Arizona nurses and further the nursing profession. The Foundation, established in 1998 as a special fund within the Arizona Community Foundation, serves as a resource to all Arizona nurses by supporting scientific and educational activities. Charitable gifts and tax-deductible donations, payable to Arizona Nurses Foundation/ACF, can be sent to AzNF, 1850 E. Southern Avenue, Suite 1, Tempe, Arizona 85282.

Nancy J. Webber RN, the Clinical Nurse Educator for adult nursing at Paradise Valley Hospital in Phoenix, is enrolled in the BSN degree completion program at Grand Canyon University, Glendale, Arizona. Ms. Webber's career interest is to enhance clinical education of staff nurses in the acute care setting.

Elaine J. Chanecka RN, BSN, a native of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is enrolled in the Master's level Adult Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Ms. Chanecka's thesis research is focusing on the care of Native American cardiology patients and traditional methods used to enhance patient well being.
