In the news: Calgary man set to scale Kilimanjaro for nursing students
Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, April 28, 2008
Like here in the United States, the nursing shortage is spreading across Canada, and some residents are going to great lengths to lend a hand.
Allan Muller, 61, an investment advisor in Calgary, is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro—the highest peak in Africa—to support local nursing students. Friends and family are setting up a scholarship in his name to help single-parent nursing students at the University of Calgary. Muller has a history of supporting nurses, most notably that his rotary club donated $20,000 to establish a fund that provides $1,000 annually to a second-year nursing student.
Muller's trek is similar to the one completed by Patrick Hickey, a nursing professor at the University of South Carolina. As featured on StressedOutNurses.com, Hickey climbed Mt. Everest to set up a scholarship at his school.
