A unique partnership has established a new two-year $10,000 scholarship residency program for nursing students at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM). The Emerson Residency Scholarship is awarded annually to two CSUSM nursing students interested in pursuing a nursing specialty in maternal child health.
Nursing students Jaleh Jaffari and Tara Naughton are the first to be awarded the prestigious scholarship.
As part of the scholarship, each student participates in a two-year externship program with Tri-City Medical Center’s labor and delivery, and post-partum and neonatal intensive care units, training alongside Tri-City's registered nurses.
Naughton said that the scholarship "allows me to work harder than ever before to provide nothing but top quality care, and to always be learning and refining my skills."
The scholarship was made possible by an agreement between Emerson Network Power in Carlsbad, the March of Dimes, California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) and Tri-City Medical Center.
