Jonas Scholar Profile: Andrea Barnes Grant BSN, MSN On August 20th, 1940, Sir Winston Churchill, commenting on the situation of the Battle of Britain, stated: "Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few." War and conflict was the situation during which Sir Winston Churchill made that memorable comment. Although these are not conflicted times, Donald and Barbara Jonas have stepped forward to make a major impact; we are fortunate that their impact is on the nursing profession.

Jonas Scholar Profile: Adrian Juarez, BSN, MSN My name is Adrian Juarez and I am in my third year of a nursing doctoral program at New York University (NYU).

Jonas Scholar Profile: Annie Rohan, BSN, MSN Hello Jonas Supporters!   I never considered that my road to being a Jonas Scholar was long or difficult.  As I put it to paper, however, I recognize that it was woven together by the challenge of educational commitment.  I began my journey in the mid 1980’s when my family supported my decision to go to college…as long as I chose a “practical” major that would guarantee my employment after graduation.  Their advice served me very well through the years.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the State University of New York at Binghamton in 1987, and began work as a staff nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at New York Hospital/Cornell Medical Center the following week.
