The Isabel Mc Isaac Scholarship went to Carolyn Boyle who is pursuing her MSN degree in nurse anesthesia at Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College in St. Louis. From there she plans to continue on to earn a DNP. One of her passions is research leading to evidence based practice.  She hopes to pursue nursing research throughout her nursing career. One day Carolyn, a former critical care nurse in the cardiovascular ICU at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, wants to go on to teach anesthesia classes to aspiring nurses.
