It has been over two weeks since a devastating earthquake struck the island nation of Haiti. Within days of this tragic event medical professionals from around the world sprang into action and made their way to Haiti.  Tafford is proud to support the American Nurses Association and their efforts in Haiti.  This week we packed up over 400 scrub tops and pants to be sent down to volunteers in the disaster zone.  In addition to the scrub domination we started a campaign that allows our customers to help as well.  From now through February 2^ndwe will donate $1 for every heart scrub top or jacket purchased using promotional code TAFHEART2. The donations will benefit the American Nurses Foundation Haiti Relief Fund and will go toward disaster relief, including rebuilding the Haitian nursing infrastructure and assisting the National Association of Haitian Nurses, Association Nationale des Infirmieres Licenciees d’Haiti.

While the disaster in Haiti is receiving a lot of media attention there are places around the world that need help every day.  A group of volunteers led by Dr. Yell Inverso is planning a two week trip to Kenya to help locals with hearing and ear health care issues. Their goal is to emphasize the link between good hearing and quality of life and providing sustainable audiological services. As we did last year, Tafford will be donating scrubs for the group to wear during their trip.  To find out more about their trip follow their blog (if you see any solid scrub in the pictures – they’re Tafford Essentials)!

On top of these important functional features of the shoes they also come in a variety of colors and patterns. There are enough colors to fit your every mood! The fun and funky designs help you bring a little of your own personality to your work wardrobe. The stain proof leather coating protects your shoes from liquids and keeps them looking as good as the day you buy them.

2010 has been declared as the by the United Nations as the “International Year of the Nurse.”  Nurses play a vital role in healthcare world wide, but sadly they often do not receive the credit they deserve.  The goal of the International Year of the Nurse is to not only bring awareness to the roles that nurses play in the global health but also to inspire nurses to bond together to help their local, national and global communities with acts of service.

This year was selected because it marks an historic event, the 100^th anniversary of the passing of arguably the most famous nurse of all time, Florence Nightingale.  Nightingale had a lasting impact on the nursing field that is still felt today.  To honor her spirit this year all of the estimated 15 million nurses world wide are asked to go out and perform good — not only at their jobs but also in their communities. Groups such as the nurses from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center are holding events like the “Celebration of Caring” to start the year.

Tafford is proud to support nurses and all of the invaluable services they provide.

“During my military career I had life-altering experiences taking care of not only wounded solders as a medic, but as a care-provider to impoverished and sickened patients in our treatment tents,” said Davis.  “It was these life-changing experiences that led me to make the decision of nursing as a career.”

Frederick Giertz Jr., a BSN student at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, faced a tough decision after losing his job as an auto worker.  “I decided that I would learn to do something that would do more that just earn me a paycheck. I want to do something that will make a difference,” said Giertz.

Frederick made the decision on a new career while his father was in the hospital. “I watched the care that my father received after heart surgery, and I knew I could be a nurse,” Giertz continued.  After spending two years completing the necessary prerequisites, Frederick is now enrolled in the BSN program at Oakland University.

“Frederick and Kerry are two extremely deserving recipients of the Tafford Uniforms Nursing Scholarship,” said Gene S. Godick, CEO of Tafford Uniforms.  “Military veterans and auto workers face serious challenges in today’s environment, and we are pleased to help Frederick and Kerry complete their pursuit of nursing degrees.  We look forward to watching them achieve their goals.

Tafford Uniforms anticipates to continue awarding nursing scholarships twice per year on an ongoing basis.  Students eligible to apply must be enrolled in an accredited nursing program towards an associate’s (or LPN, LVN) bachelor’s (BSN) or master’s (MSN) degree in nursing.  Tafford is currently accepting applications for the next round of scholarships to be awarded in early 2010.  To apply for a Tafford Uniforms Nursing Scholarship please visit: www.tafford.com/scholarship.htm
