In June, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and CampusRN.com awarded Bowie its first $2,500 scholarship through a newly created program designed to support nursing education at the baccalaureate and higher degree level. "I have enjoyed every aspect of my nursing career, and feel that I now have much to bring to students who are studying to be nurses," Bowie said. "The CampusRN-AACN scholarship will help support me and my family while I pursue my goal of becoming a nursing faculty member." A registered nurse for 26 years, Bowie received her bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing from the University of San Diego. After working as a staff nurse, nursing manager, director and consultant, she transitioned into teaching and found her true passion. Bowie began teaching undergraduate and graduate courses at Seattle University in 2000 and has since committed herself to a faculty career and pursuing doctoral studies. She continues to teach part time while enrolled full time in the Ph.D. nursing program at the University of Washington.
