Kimberly Hysong

Hello! My name is Kimberly, and I am a dedicated nursing professional currently enrolled in the accelerated RN-BSN program at Youngstown State University, maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA. With over 23 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, my career has focused on neonatal and pediatric care, where I've dedicated my skills and compassion to the youngest and most vulnerable patients at Akron Children’s Hospital.

Balancing a demanding career, family life, and academic commitments, I exemplify determination, resilience, and lifelong learning. I am deeply committed to furthering my education with plans to pursue a Doctorate in Nurse Anesthesia, aiming to enhance patient outcomes through advanced clinical expertise. As a single mother, my educational journey also serves as a powerful example for my daughters, encouraging them to pursue their own collegiate dreams.

I am honored to be recognized through multiple scholarships including the Mary L. Fleming Scholarship, the District Three Nurses - Make a Difference Scholarship, and the Youngstown Area Federation of Women’s Clubs Scholarship. These awards affirm my dedication to excellence in both academic and professional settings. My ultimate goal remains steadfast—to continuously contribute positively to my community through compassionate, skilled healthcare.
