As part of the NNU’s Certificate Program in Women’s Global Health Leadership, we are pleased to announce the Fall 2014 courses Global Women’s Health Movements, The Growth Imperative, Global Ecology, and Women’s Health, and Debt, Crisis, and Women’s Health, co-sponsored by National Nurses United and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The courses will be offered online during the Fall Semester of 2014. Classes begin September 2, 2014.
Full-tuition scholarships are available for NNU members interested in building global solidarity with those who share RN values of caring, compassion, and community. To apply for a full-tuition scholarship for a course, please submit a short essay (250 to 500 words) describing how the topic of the course will inform your RN patient advocacy. NNU members may apply for a scholarship for more than one course. A separate essay is required for each course for which an RN seeks a scholarship.
All interested scholarship applicants should submit their essay via email to WGHL@nationalnursesunited.org with the subject line “Women’s Global Health Leadership Scholarship” no later than Monday, August 18th, at 11:59 p.m.
If you have any questions, please contact the Certificate Program Administrative Coordinator, Janelle Fine, at (510) 273-2241 or WGHL@nationalnursesunited.org.
The certificate program matters for nurses because it is the only academic program in the country that honestly assesses the rapidly changing socioeconomic landscape of healthcare in the United States and globally from the standpoint of bedside RNs. Classes prepare nurses to identify and confront social, economic, political, and environmental forces that place their jobs, livelihoods, communities, and planet in jeopardy.
