Nursing Student Named PTK HESI Scholar
A Walters State Community College student is one of only 35 nursing students nationwide
to be named a Phi Theta Kappa HESI Prep Scholar.
Heather Gibson of Morristown has received a scholarship to pay for a prep study course
and fees associated with the NCLEX exam. Graduates are required to pass the NCLEX-RN
exam to be licensed as registered nurse. The scholarship is sponsored by PTK, the
international honor society for community college students.
Gibson is scheduled to complete her associate of applied science in nursing this semester.
“Heather was an outstanding student in my microbiology class,” Dr. Lisa Eccles, professor
of biology and PTK advisor, said. “Her selection for this award reflects positively
on her scholarship and work ethic.”
