The MaryEllen Hatfield School Nursing Certification Reimbursement Award 

The MaryEllen Hatfield School Nursing Certification Reimbursement Awards are a memorial to MaryEllen Hatfield, South Carolina's School Health Nurse Consultant from 1980 until her retirement in 1997. MaryEllen was passionate about her work on behalf of children. It is SCASN’s goal to validate the knowledge and expertise of the school nurse beyond basic RN licensure through national board certification.

The awards will reimburse SCASN members on a rolling basis who show they have passed the NBCSN exam; as well as paying a single recertification fee for SCASN members who are actively participating as a Committee Chair or Board Member of SCASN.
