The College of New Caledonia is doing their part to tackle the north’s nursing shortage with a new bursary program.
Dedicated to Betty Smith, Becky Beck and her mother Edith, the award will benefit four nursing students each year.
Both Becky and Betty dedicated their lives to nursing and healthcare, and embodied consistency and hardwork.
Becky passed away in 2018, and Betty this year, but the latter willed 100 thousand dollars to the College to go towards the creation of a new award.
To honour the memory of the two nurses, four nursing students will be granted a 1,000 dollar bursary each year.
