Congratulations Patrick Perl ’99, RN on HX23 Nurse of the Year Award – Front Line Clinical Nurse
HX23 Nurse of the Year Award – Front Line Clinical Nurse: Patrick Perl , RN, Cardiovascular Clinical Nurse Specialist, Arnot Ogden Medical Center, Elmira, NY
Suffolk County Community College alumnus Patrick Perl ’99 was peer-nominated for this award for exemplifying tremendous commitment to care innovation, transformation, and collaboration to support an exceptional patient experience on the front lines. Patrick led the “Share the Light – Shine the Light” program, an initiative to decorate the rooms of COVID patients with holiday lights, providing warmth and beauty in otherwise isolating spaces. The community rallied together, donating hundreds and hundreds of strands of lights, all attached with thank you cards for staff. In his own words, the goal of this initiative was to “band together and show our community hospital, our healthcare workers, and our patients that we care.” Patrick’s colleagues view him as the nurse every patient wants and every new nurse wants to be. His clinical expertise, compassion, dedication, advocacy, and humanity have been instrumental in fueling the resilience, morale, and pride of his team.

SUNY New Scholarship is Opening the Door For More Nurses in New York State
By Taras Kufel
Nurses are in demand across the country, with 11 million additional nurses needed by 2026 to avoid shortages. In New York State, we’ll need 39,000 new nurses by 2030. Leaders at SUNY and across New York State are working to prepare more nurses to meet this demand and to serve as front line health care heroes to New York. In November, Governor Kathy Hochul announced the Nurses for Our Future Scholarship, a new scholarship for New York nursing students that will cover tuition for 1,000 new students in a SUNY or CUNY Registered Nurse (RN) program.
While the details of the scholarship are still developing, here’s what we know about the Nurses for Our Future Scholarship:
Who is eligible for the Nurses for Our Future Scholarship?
The scholarship is for new students who want to become an RN.
Do nursing students have to attend full-time to get the scholarship?
Both part-time and full-time students are eligible to apply when the scholarship becomes available.
Do students have to work in New York after graduation?
Like the Excelsior Scholarship, there is a work requirement. Students will do 2 years’ service in a New York State healthcare facility following graduation.
Will the nursing scholarship cover all tuition and expenses for nursing school?
The nursing scholarship is a last-dollar scholarship, which means it covers any remaining gap in tuition expenses, after other federal and state grants and scholarships are applied.
The scholarship for aspiring New York nurses makes it possible to afford a nursing education at their local SUNY college. Currently, SUNY offers more than 70+ nursing programs and 17 credentials in nursing, often ranked among the best in the state… Read more online
