The $3.2 million Nurses for Wisconsin initiative, funded through a 2013-2015 UW System incentive grant, invested in nurses to help them advance their degrees and teach at leading UW System nursing programs. As Nurses for Wisconsin draws to a close, we are happy to report on our successes. UW-Eau Claire, UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, UW Oshkosh offered predoctoral Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and PhD fellowships, postdoctoral fellowships and a loan repayment program to encourage nurses to pursue doctoral degrees or postdoctoral training and assume nurse educator positions in Wisconsin. In return, awardees made a three-year commitment to a teach in Wisconsin.

NEW FUNDING OPPORTUNITY!
To support the education of nurses in Wisconsin, the state has approved $5 million to offset expenses of nurses enrolled full time in PhD, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), or master’s Nurse Educator programs. Administrators of Nursing Education of Wisconsin (ANEW) and Wisconsin Nurses Association (WNA) have collaborated for several years to advance this initiative. It is an exciting opportunity for the state of Wisconsin.
