hazards and needs. The Nurse Scholar program is an opportunity that provides continuing
education to nurses who care for these populations," said Jessi Grote, DNP, RN, NPD-BC,
AgriSafe’s Professional Development Coordinator." AgriSafe is proud to offer scholarships to
cover the costs of the program to assist rural nurses in their professional development and in
