  5. Nursing is a very demanding job that requires tremendous energy, effort, work ethic and long-term commitment. Unfortunately, we have an epidemic of nurses leaving the field prematurely. Joyce Ann Maurer, who the scholarship is honoring, had 10 kids, worked as a full time ER nurse, and went back to school in her 50’s to advance her nursing education. She did not quit! She overcame adversity, stress, challenges and was still able to be an amazing mother and nurse to our community.
