Emergency Support for Nursing Students

Imagine a student on the brink of their nursing dream but facing challenges: lacking essential tools, struggling with travel costs, or being hit by an emergency. Every student deserves the chance to shine at FSU College of Nursing, and your compassion can be their lifeline.  

Here is how YOU can make an impact:  

  • Equipment Essentials ($75): Give them the tools to practice their skills confidently. 

  • Uniform Necessities ($250): Help them project professionalism and belonging in clinical settings. 

  • Travel Support ($500): Unlock diverse learning experiences beyond financial barriers. 

  • Emergency Lifeline ($1000): Be their safety net through unforeseen hardships. 

Together, we can empower the next generation of nurses, one level at a time. Join us in FSU’s Great Give campaign and our 2024 effort to raise Emergency Support for Nursing Students. Please help us make a difference in nurturing our future healthcare heroes!
