Each year, the New Mexico Center for Nursing Excellence awards Nightingale Scholarships to nursing students throughout the state. Winning applicants demonstrate incredible dedication to their work, their studies, and their communities. This scholarship would not be possible without the generous support of the New Mexico Board of Nursing to the Nurse Excellence Fund.
