Sabrina Reed Gerontological Nursing Award
In September 2005, Sabrina Reed was killed by her husband
in a domestic violence dispute. She was a BSN RN
Graduate (2002) and an MSN gerontological nursing graduate
(2005) at Radford University. I had the privilege of teaching
this very humble and beautiful woman. Sabrina was a dialysis
nurse at the VA Medical Center in Salem.
Plans are underway to award a BS RN undergraduate and
graduate $50.00 award and certificate to graduating RU students
who have demonstrated excellence in gerontological
nursing. A fund at BRC must be set up for this.
Please remember
that BRC is a tax deductible organization. Any one
wishing to contribute, please send directly to:

We will also need an awards committee to set the criteria for
recipients of this award. The first awards are to be given in
Spring 2007.
