Endowment honors nurse’s innate dedication, leadership to profession<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As a young girl in South Texas, Juanita\u00a0Ruth Kirkpatrick Smith would eagerly\u00a0await her mother\u2019s return home from her\u00a0shift as a special duty nurse. She loved\u00a0listening to her mother recount her\u00a0workday with stories of how she helped\u00a0patients by assisting other nurses and doctors. Smith\u00a0dreamed of the day she would become a nurse too. What\u00a0she didn\u2019t know then was the impact she would have on\u00a0future nursing students through an endowed scholarship,\u00a0which now bears her name.<\/p>\n

The Juanita Ruth Kirkpatrick Smith, B.S.N., RN,\u00a0M.S.H.P.Ed., Endowed Scholarship was established by\u00a0Smith\u2019s first cousin, Barbara Banker, to honor not only her\u00a0dream of becoming a nurse, but also the strength and courage\u00a0it took her to achieve it, and the compassion and focus on\u00a0patient care that defined her almost 30-year nursing career.\u201cShe is a natural-born nurse,\u201d said Banker, who\u00a0serves on the Nursing Advisory Council for the School\u00a0of Nursing. \u201cShe hears something that no one else hears\u00a0when she takes care of someone. I have always admired\u00a0her, and she was my inspiration for this scholarship.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to qualify for this scholarship, students must\u00a0be enrolled at the master\u2019s level majoring in a nurse\u00a0practitioner program, demonstrate financial need and\u00a0possess a G.P.A. of 3.5 or above. Applicants must also\u00a0complete a personal written statement explaining interest\u00a0and motivation in pursuing their degree.
\nThe first recipient of this scholarship is Erin Brooke\u00a0Madison, 25, who currently works full time in the\u00a0pediatric ICU at University Hospital and is enrolled part\u00a0time in the School of Nursing\u2019s family nurse practitioner\u00a0master\u2019s degree program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis scholarship helps ease the financial burden\u00a0that comes along with continuing my education,\u201d said\u00a0Madison, who is also a newlywed and expecting her first\u00a0child. \u201cKnowing Mrs. Smith\u2019s story and how she never\u00a0gave up on her dream, encourages me as well. I always\u00a0enjoy knowing a person\u2019s story, and I think that is why I\u00a0enjoy nursing so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a genuine concern for others and a passion for\u00a0learning, Madison embodies the characteristics of the\u00a0nursing student Smith and Banker hope this scholarship\u00a0continues to help, and ironically, for Smith, now 85, it\u00a0all began with stories.\u00a0 \u201cMother would come home and tell stories about her\u00a0cases and surgeries,\u201d Smith recalled, \u201cand I would just sit\u00a0there and soak it in. She never really encouraged me to go\u00a0into nursing because she said it was really hard, hard work,\u00a0but I loved the sciences and I wanted to be a nurse.\u201d<\/p>\n

A nurse she became. In fact, Smith at age 44 was\u00a0one of the first graduates of the School of Nursing at\u00a0the UT Health Science Center in 1975, earning her\u00a0Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The road to her\u00a0dream, however, was not a straight one. Graduating\u00a0from high school at 16, Smith\u2019s mother believed she was\u00a0too young to attend either of the closest nursing schools\u00a0in San Antonio or Houston, so her dream was placed on\u00a0hold. Instead, she took business courses at Texas A&I\u00a0University in her hometown of Kingsville. Soon, she\u00a0married and had three children.<\/p>\n

A decade later and living in Corpus Christi, her family was in\u00a0need of a supplemental income, so Smith turned back to her dream\u00a0by applying for a nurse\u2019s aide position in the local hospital. A job in\u00a0the admitting office, however, paid double that of a nurse\u2019s aide and\u00a0once more, her dream was placed on hold.
\n\u201cShe worked very hard for a very long time, and she kind of\u00a0glosses over some of the obstacles she had,\u201d explained Banker, \u201cbut\u00a0there were obstacles that would have stopped most people dead in\u00a0their tracks. She just kept going.\u201d<\/p>\n

After working the noon to 9 p.m. shift for two years in the hospital\u00a0and a short stint as a receptionist and transcriber for a medical doctor,\u00a0Smith returned to school and earned a certificate as a petroleum\u00a0draftsman launching her almost 10-year career in the oil business.\u00a0 Eventually, everything aligned and she enrolled in a licensed\u00a0vocational nursing program at Mercy Hospital in Jourdanton, finally\u00a0living her dream of studying and working in the nursing profession.\u00a0Smith worked as an LVN full time and took classes at night for the\u00a0next seven years in order to receive her B.S.N. in 1975.\u00a0 She continued her education completing her Master of Science\u00a0degree in Health Professions and Administration in 1979 from\u00a0Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State University, in\u00a0San Marcos and earning her counseling certification in 1990 from\u00a0the University of North Texas in Denton. Her only regret is not\u00a0being able to pursue her desire to become a nurse practitioner, which\u00a0is why the scholarship is focused on helping students enrolled in\u00a0such a program.\u00a0 \u201cMy main message is,\u201d Smith reiterated, \u201cit is never too late to\u00a0follow your dream. It just takes a lot of determination.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Smith, the simple dream of becoming a nurse culminated\u00a0in a legacy that even she couldn\u2019t foresee. She founded the health\u00a0occupations\/health careers programs first at John Marshall High\u00a0School in San Antonio and then at Plano East Senior High in Plano,\u00a0Texas. The program she created to introduce high school students\u00a0to careers in the medical field is the cornerstone of today\u2019s successful\u00a0magnet high school in the Northside Independent School District in\u00a0San Antonio, known as Health Careers High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn teaching, I loved being with the kids,\u201d Smith said, explaining\u00a0that she continued to work as a nurse and kept her skills up to date\u00a0while teaching, \u201cbut nursing has always been the love of my life.\u201d\u00a0 The countless patients, students and medical colleagues who had\u00a0the good fortune to know Smith are certainly grateful that she never\u00a0gave up on her dream; and now through the scholarship, which\u00a0bears her name, many more dreams will come true.<\/p>\n
