The Northern Oklahoma College Foundation acknowledges the establishment of the Judith L. Whitmore Nursing Scholarship Fund

Whitmore began her nursing career after graduating from Northern Oklahoma College in 1990. After receiving her bachelors and Master’s in nursing, Judith began teaching future nurses where her nursing journey began at Northern Oklahoma College on the Enid Campus.

She started her RN career at Bass Baptist Hospital. She worked as a surgery RN at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Enid.

In 2011, she became a Nursing Instructor at NOC where she educated the next generation of nurses. She then moved to Tulsa, OK, in 2016 and worked as a Legal Nurse Consultant at Richardson, Richardson, Boudreaux, PLLC, until 2020. She then returned to Enid and began working at Integris Meadowlake Behavioral Health Center as an RN until the time of her passing.

“We are so blessed to work with the family to establish a memorial scholarship in Judith’s name,” said Sheri Snyder, Vice President for Development and Executive Director of the NOC Foundation. “Not only are they keeping her memory alive, her legacy will continue to live on in future generations of nurses in healthcare.”

Candidates must apply through the NOC Scholarship office and must be a full-time student in the NOC Enid Nursing Program. Preference will be given to applicants with the most financial need. Recipients must maintain a 3.00 grade point average.
