Anderson Hospital’s Professional Practice and Development Council (PPD) annually awards scholarships to current staff seeking Nursing education.  The scholarship program was created by the PPD to encourage and support those in their continuing education efforts.  This year, two recipients were selected to receive $750 each! 

Noreen Hankins has been with Anderson Hospital for over 20 years.  She began as a nursing assistant while going to school to become a RN.  After receiving her nursing degree, she spent several years as an ICU/IMU nurse.  Today, she is a House Supervisor, which oversees nursing staff throughout the facility, and serves as administrator in charge during her night shift.  Noreen will be receiving her Master in Nursing Degree, with honors, later this year.

Rachel Phipps has been working at Anderson for the past 2 years.  She is currently working in the Patient Access department while pursuing her nursing degree at SWIC.  She recently finished her clinicals and would like to become a Labor and Delivery Nurse.   “I still squeal when I see babies,” she joked.  “I have also thought about becoming a mid-wife one day!” 

Members of the PPD were present for today’s presentation, including the Chief Nursing Officer, Lisa Spencer, MSN RN, who said, “You never stop learning in nursing!  There are always opportunities to continue  your education, learn a new skill, and expand your career.”

The fight against cancer comes in all colors.  This April, the American Cancer Society honored all those fighting cancer through their annual Colors of Cancer event.  The Anderson Mercy Cancer Care team honored one of their own, Tamla Beisner.  Tamla is a cancer survivor of two cancers and is a chemotherapy infusion nurse with Anderson Mercy Cancer Care.  She knows first-hand what it is like to hope, to fight and WIN!  Tamla was tasked with a fundraising goal of $1500 and through the success of a t-shirt sale, she and her team at Anderson Mercy were proud to present a check to the American Cancer Society for $6,223.43!

The fundraising shirt was made extra-special by featuring artwork of a very talented artist and staff member, Jessica Simpson, as well as slogans created by Anderson Hospital nurse, Kelly Deatherage.  Tamla and her team spent days hand-delivering over 800 shirts to staff from all over Anderson Healthcare who purchased a shirt (or more) in support of all those fighting cancer!  Your fight is our fight and we will hope, fight and reach a cure together!
