The challenges of making a major career shift, like having a family that includes three young children, have not kept Adam Mann from pursing a second college degree. He is completing Marymount University\u0092s accelerated nursing program<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Arlington resident\u0092s hard work and academic success has earned him recognition as one of three recipients of the Owens & Minor Nursing Scholarship, which is presented by the Virginia Nurses Association. Candidates for the $1,500 scholarship are nursing majors who hold a 3.0 or higher GPA, are full-time juniors or seniors and are Virginia residents. Applicants also submit a personal statement of why he or she has chosen to pursue a nursing career.<\/p>\n

Mann\u0092s advisor, Assistant Professor of Nursing Karen Dodd<\/a>, calls the accelerated nursing program demanding. Those enrolled have earned a previous bachelor\u0092s degree, and with the required prerequisites, complete the rigorous program in just under 16 months.<\/p>\n

\u0093I am glad he was selected as a scholarship recipient,\u0094 Dodd said. \u0093He is an outstanding student and I believe he will excel in the nursing profession.\u0094<\/p>\n

She was immediately impressed when they met because of his significant career change. Prior to entering the program, Mann had used his Notre Dame education in finance and English as an accountant for a nonprofit. Both he and his wife, Lauren, were inspired to go into nursing when their first child was born with health issues and spent his first three months in a hospital.<\/p>\n

\u0093We were basically living in the hospital and were exposed to a lot of really good nursing care,\u0094 he said.<\/p>\n

Lauren Mann, who now works at Children\u0092s National Medical Center, earned her Marymount accelerated B.S.N. in December 2016. Her husband started the program just four weeks later and will earn the same degree in May.<\/p>\n

\u0093We are delighted that Adam has been chosen by the Virginia Nurses Association for this scholarship award, in recognition of his academic achievement and his commitment to nursing as a profession,\u0094 said Dr. Jeanne Matthews<\/a>, dean of the Malek School of Health Professions.
