Nightingale Education Group

At the UWWC Awards Luncheon, Nightingale Education Group was presented with the Gold UWWC Healthy Worksite Award. This recognition is one of the best in the state of Utah regarding worksite wellness. The UWWC Healthy Worksite Awards Program highlights employers for their exemplary efforts when it comes to worksite wellness, promotion, and wellness programs for their employees. Congratulations to the Wellevate! team for consistently working to promote our overall well-being and making Nightingale a place where collaborators can be happy and healthy.

Our California bill, AB2578, passed the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee with a unanimous ‘yes’ vote! The Senators on the committee heard compelling testimonies from Nightingale representatives and learners, as well as California healthcare facilities. The Senate Appropriations Committee is the next step in early August. Once the bill passes Appropriations, it moves to the Senate floor for a full vote before ultimately going to the Governor's office.

Meet Katy Shoemaker, the Executive Director of the Nightingale Foundation. Katy has been with the Foundation since its inception in August of 2022 and oversees all of the daily operations including strategic planning, fundraising, scholarship programs, and community outreach. Katy commented, “Everything that I do whether it is work related or personal goes down that road. Trying to bring peace to everyone and treat the environment and the world with the respect it deserves is something I am passionate about.” In her free time, she reads - there’s not a book written by Stephen King that Katy hasn’t read. She also is obsessed with her dogs, Cooper and River. Without Katy, we wouldn’t be able to focus on the big picture of increasing access to nursing education. We are so thankful for her and her ability to make a positive impact on the lives of others. “Working at the foundation give me the opportunity to impact people’s lives through scholarship funding. From middle school to high school and beyond we are really targeting populations that need resources and who want to become nurses.” - Katy Shoemaker.

It’s time for another CA update! Since we passed the CA Assembly (unanimously), we are moving on to the Senate. It is VERY important that we get learner involvement here. The Senate doesn’t know anything about our bill, so we have to convince them of our mission. Visit nightingale.edu/advocacy now to get involved!

Our mission is achieved through several operating divisions:  Nightingale College facilitates higher learning along the professional nursing continuum, EvolvEd offers continuing education, and Nightingale Solutions builds bridges between healthcare employers and their future nursing workforce. https://lnkd.in/g2fk7xUm
