AUCON student Madeline Dunn has been selected for the highly competitive oncology nursing Flynn Fellowship program at NewYork Presbyterian/CHONY. Dunn will be mentored by former Flynn Fellows and will serve as a student ambassador at Auburn University to promote the program during her senior year. Having survived cancer after being diagnosed at age 19, Dunn aims to pursue a nursing career in pediatric oncology.
The program is an 8-week summer internship that provides aspiring nurses with comprehensive clinical exposure to all aspects of oncology nursing and expert training in compassionate care, including palliative care.
“I’m grateful and honored to represent Auburn as their first Flynn Fellow,” said Dunn.
The Flynn Foundation’s partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian began in 2015. Its mission is to attract, inspire, and professionally develop the next generation of oncology nurses with the goal of improving the quality of care for future cancer patients and their families,” says Fred Flynn, who started the Flynn Foundation in honor of his late wife, Susan.
