 AACN/NTI Scholarship Winner AnnouncedAspect Medical Systems is pleased to recognize Cindy Newton of Memorial Hospital and Manor in Bainbridge, Georgia as the winner of the 2002 NTI scholarship raffle. Aspect held a live drawing at last year?s AACN/NTI meeting in Atlanta to select a scholarship winner that would receive $1,000 in funding to support educational programs and meeting attendance at future AACN/NTI meetings. ?I was so excited to hear that I won the scholarship,? said Cindy. ?Resources are very tight in healthcare these days, and the additional financial support from the scholarship is tremendously valuable.? Cindy developed an early fascination with cardiac nursing when her mother underwent open heart surgery at Mt. Sinai in 1966. Her nursing career has since spanned 26 years. She is currently an ICU Nurse Manager at Memorial Hospital and Manor where she supervises 18 full time members, the Echo Department, outpatient holter monitoring, and EEG studies. Cindy makes it a point to attend the AACN/NTI meeting at least every three years to renew her commitment to nursing and seek new ways to improve her ICU. ?The meeting keeps me updated with current practices and trends and I am able to network with peers and learn about best practices in other facilities,? said Cindy. At last year?s meeting Cindy also took the opportunity to learn more about sedation monitoring during one of Aspect?s in-booth CE sessions. Along with enhancing her nursing skills and knowledge,Cindy also enjoys the chance to stay in touch with previous co-workers that she sees at the NTI. Aspect continues its support of AACN/NTI education with raffles of two $500 gift certificates this year in San Antonio. Meeting participants who wish to enter the raffle can sign up at booth number 1519. Good luck to those who enter the raffle and congratulations once again to Cindy! |
