What does it mean to you to be called to care, serve, and become a light for others?
From the traditions that have shaped the nursing profession to the dreams we carry today, the Capping and Candlelighting Ceremony marks a meaningful milestone in our journey. A moment when dedication is affirmed, compassion is deepened, and our calling begins to shine even brighter.
The cap reminds us of the discipline, humility, and responsibility entrusted to every nurse. The candle reminds us that we are called to be a light to bring comfort in moments of pain, hope in times of uncertainty, and compassionate care wherever we are called to serve.
Above every tradition, however, we remember the One who first showed us the true meaning of healing and service: Jesus Christ, the Great Healer and the True Model of Excellence.
As a Christ-centered School of Nursing, we are called to embody Caring, Connecting, and Empowering, seeking to restore the Creatorโs design of wholeness in humanity. Through this calling, we strive to become competent, compassionate, excellent, and spiritually grounded nurses who promote wholistic health in service to God and humanity.
Our vision reaches beyond simply becoming nurses. We aspire to become Christ-centered, globally responsive nursing professionals, grounded in faith, guided by compassion, and committed to excellence in Adventist nursing education.
Let our hands serve with compassion.
Let our light shine with hope.
Let our lives reflect His love.
โLet your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.โ
Matthew 5:16
As we receive our caps and light our candles, we honor the legacy entrusted to us, embrace the responsibility of the present, and step forward into the future with faith, knowledge, integrity, compassion, and excellence.
Honoring the legacy. Lighting the path. Answering the call.
