AgriSafe proudly honors the dedication, compassion, and tireless efforts of nurses serving rural communities. As a token of their appreciation to nurses, AgriSafe is offering a limited number of scholarships for eligible nurses to take AgriSafe’s Nurse Scholar Program — free of charge (a $500 value).

This program provides 23 hours of online, specialized training to support the unique health and safety needs of agricultural workers and their families, empowering nurses with knowledge they can immediately apply in their practice. The University of Nebraska Medical Center designates this activity for 23 ANCC contact hours.

Who is eligible? Nurses currently employed in the U.S. by:

• Rural nonprofit clinics or organizations

• Nonprofit hospitals

• Critical access hospitals

• Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)

Do you have trouble falling/staying asleep OR staying awake when you need to?

Sleep and alertness problems are extremely common among people who work night shifts, yet very little research has focused on non-medication treatments. This research study is focused on developing a non-medication treatment for night shift nursing staff who have trouble with sleep or alertness. Eligible participants are any currently employed nursing staff (including nurses, CNAs, etc) living in the United States who work night shifts regularly and have difficulty sleeping or staying awake.

The study will last between 6.5-7 months, and you will be given individual sleep treatment over telehealth. You can participate entirely from home, and we will schedule meetings at times that work for you. If you complete all study assessments, you will receive $210 as compensation for your time. See the attached flyer for study information, and please distribute it to anyone who you think might be interested.
