Seven Nurses
Receive Scholarships
Earning a degree is easier for current Cheyenne Regional
Medical Center nursing staff thanks to two Foundation
scholarships. This year six employees received the Walter Scott
Foundation scholarship, while one is the first recipient of the
Fran Cadez Memorial Scholarship.
ANGELA BURGE received the Fran Cadez Memorial scholarship. She is a radiation oncology nurse and
will earn her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Western Governors University in March 2021. She
currently holds a bachelor’s degree in management/marketing and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. After
graduation she would like to continue her career in oncology.
With an associate’s, bachelor's and master’s degree in nursing, SAM BASS serves as the Magnet Program
and Patient Experience Director at CRMC. He also has a bachelor’s degree in communication, and is currently
working toward a Doctorate of Nursing Practice in the executive leadership tract at American Sentinel
University. He said when Chief Nursing Officer Tracy Garcia retires, he would love to be considered for that role
and would like to influence how nursing is practiced throughout Cheyenne and Wyoming.
AMY BOULEY has been the patient safety coordinator in the Quality Department for nearly seven years.
She has both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in nursing, and is currently studying at the University of
Northern Colorado toward a Family Nurse Practitioner degree. She will graduate in May of 2022 and plans
to work in the Emergency Department.
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) II JENNIFER FOREST is a student at Laramie County Community College
(LCCC) where she is working toward her associate degree in nursing with plans to continue for her bachelor’s.
She would like to work with the female population such as in postpartum and prenatal care when she graduates
in May 2022.
JADEN HESFORD is a CNA on the telemetry unit and is a student at two schools—LCCC and the
University of Wyoming (UW). She is currently working toward both her associate and bachelor’s degrees
in nursing. She expects to graduate from LCCC this December and UW in May, and she hopes to work as a
nurse resident for CRMC.
A nurse for 19 years, HEATHER ROBERTS is working toward a MSN with a summer 2022 graduation through
Western Governors University. She is a certified post-anesthesia care unit nurse and serves as a bedside nurse
and the educator in the PACU/SDS/Care Clinic. She already has bachelor’s degrees in nursing and social work,
and she said she would like to use her education to become a better educator for the peri-op team.
VANESSA VAN ARNAM is a medical assistant at Cheyenne Children’s Clinic and is a nursing student at
Eastern Wyoming College. She currently has an associate degree, and when she graduates in May 2022,
she would like to continue working with the community’s youth population at CRMC.
