The Serafini Scholarship:
MAKING DREAMS OF NURSING SCHOOL A REALITY Brittney Welsh, Kristin Harwick and Robin Evanovich have often put their own passions on hold so that they could put others first. While this is commendable, AHN believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to have the future they have imagined. Through the Serafini Scholarship for nursing students, those dreams are again within reach. Brittney Welsh is 28 years old and currently working two jobs after spending the past three years caring for her late grandmother who suffered from dementia. Brittney is a graduate from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in biology. On top of working at a nursing home and as a technician at a retail pharmacy, she is currently attending nursing school. Kristin Harwick is 32 years old, works as a medical assistant in a doctor’s office and also has a full time job raising her 14-year-old daughter. After she became a mother, Kristin put nursing school on the back burner. After 10 years of gaining experience and yearning to go back to school, Kristin is also now attending nursing school.
