Correction: In the Summer 2019 issue of The Gator Nurse, it was incorrectly stated that alumna Dawn Miller (MSN 2004) was selected for a Nurse Practitioner Residency Program with the Nursing Education Service of North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System. In fact, Miller is the author of the grant that is funding the program and is leading the efforts for this important program. We apologize for this oversight and congratulate Miller on her achievements.
