THONG NGUYEN SCHOLARSHIPS
Thong Nguyen scholarships for the recognition and development of healthcare expertise
CONTEXT
Encourage the pursuit of studies and continuing education
In May 2020, following the death of an employee of the Jean-Talon Hospital, the Foundation decided to create a dedicated fund of $ 50,000. This dedicated fund, distributed in installments of $ 5,000 per year over ten years, will allow the establishment of five scholarships to encourage the staff of the Local Health Network Petite-Patrie (RLS Petite-Patrie) to start, continue or improve. health-related training.
THE PROGRAM
An adapted program
The main objective is to encourage the resumption or the continuation of studies and to create within the employees a feeling of belonging.
With the changing health needs of the population, technological advances, interdisciplinarity and the rapid integration of relief workers into care units, college training may not be sufficient. In addition, studies have shown direct correlation between the quality and safety of care and services and the level of training of nurses.
Thus, we would like the Thong Nguyen scholarship to be offered to employees of the RLS Petite-Patrie who wish to begin college studies in nursing or to improve their knowledge by seeking related university training (nursing, medicine, or other).
DESCRIPTION OF SCHOLARSHIPS
Awarded annually to five employees of the RLS Petite-Patrie who want to follow an academic training at the college or university level, these grants of $ 1,000 each are intended to encourage the continuous training of staff.

This program aims to:
-
Motivate employees in their professional development.

Veronique Patenaude
nurse clinician
My name is Véronique Patenaude and I am currently completing a graduate microprogram in palliative and end-of-life care at the University of Sherbrooke. I signed up for this distance training because I have the well-being of the patient and those around him in the continuum of care at heart. I deepened my skills in the assessment and relief of symptoms in patients at the end of life. The acquisition of this knowledge is beneficial for better supporting patients in the evolution of their terminal illness. In the current context, I consider myself privileged to participate in the quality care provided by all the professionals working on the front line.
