Area nursing student wins $10,000 essay scholarship
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
SALISBURY—Five years ago, Mary Cockey watched her sister, who suffered from liver disease, become “jaundice yellow and slip into a coma” before she died at age 24.
The life-changing experience led Cockey to pursue a career in nursing.
“Despite her unconsciousness, the nurses in the hospital treated my sister with the greatest respect and care,” said Cockey in an essay that she wrote for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation New Careers in Nursing Scholarship. “One evening as I approached my sister’s room I heard someone singing, and when I walked in I realized that her nurse was singing her a lullaby during her evening bath.”
The Salisbury resident said the nurse’s actions “forever impacted my life and inspired me to become a nurse.”

With Doctors in Short Supply, Responsibilities for Nurses May Expand
Thursday, November 12, 2009
If the health care system is overhauled, patients and practitioners are likely to face a primary care bottleneck, experts say. An estimated 30 million newly insured people will begin making appointments for check-ups and other routine care with physicians who are already stretched thin caring for existing patients.
The increase in demand may well put an end to a simmering policy dispute over the circumscribed role of nurse practitioners in medical care. If tens of millions of new patients enter the health care system, it seems clear that nurse practitioners will be needed to perform many of the tasks now performed by physicians.
