BEMIDJI Through a $5,000 donation from the Red Lake Nation, Bemidji State University’s Alumni and Foundation has purchased 54 stethoscopes for students enrolled in the university’s four-year track nursing program.
“The Red Lake Nation has been a strong partner and we are grateful for their generous support,” Josh Christianson, executive director of university advancement, said in a release.
Nursing students are required to purchase a stethoscope upon entering their sophomore year and, motivated to alleviate this financial burden, Department Chair and Professor of Nursing Dr. Marci Maple turned to her colleagues in the field.
