Scholarship Recipient Testimonial
I worked in the OR as a Certified Surgical Technologist for over seven years, and while I have learned so much and greatly enjoyed this position, I always intended to advance my learning. Without support from organizations like the AORN Foundation, those hopes may not have become my reality. ~Lynne Nichols
