ILLUMINATING EXCELLENCE
MARTHA WHITE BLALOCK NURSE SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The Martha White Blalock Nurse Scholars Committee plans a robust schedule of activities for Duke Nurses, in response to a needs assessment survey. These activities include Seminars, Nursing Grand Rounds and a keynote speaker during National Nurses Week (May 6-12). All Duke Nurses are encouraged to attend, and the reach of the program has increased significantly with the move of all activities to virtual environments. Since July 1, 2019, more than 1,500 Duke Nurses have participated in Friends of Nursing activities.
