In 1989, Jayne (Carson) Felgen, Chief Nursing Officer at (the former) Osteopathic Hospital in Lancaster, recognized the need to promote and support nursing in Pennsylvania, as an essential strategy to recruit and retain nurses, in order to meet the state's future healthcare needs. Jayne and other visionary nurse leaders were the driving force behind the establishment of the Nightingale Awards of Pennsylvania (NAP) -- a statewide, non-profit organization, focused on recognizing exemplary nursing practice, and granting scholarships to students pursuing degrees in nursing at all levels. A volunteer Board of Trustees, consisting of individuals who are leaders in nursing, business, industry, and other healthcare fields, has guided the organization since its inception. Through the past thirty years, NAP has provided close to 200 nursing scholarships totaling over $330,000 and has honored over 550 Pennsylvania nurses at its annual gala.
