Happy Mother's Day from the JoAnne Gay Dishman School of Nursing! This week, the 2nd-semester students wanted to celebrate the moms in nursing school! Sarah Acosta, the Class President, stated, "Nursing school is hard in general without caring for children as well. " The theme was, 'Pick a flower, take a picture, and feel appreciated! " Thanks to the Graduating BSN Class of May 2027 for your thoughtfulness! We love your spirit, and we want to spread it to all of our alumnae moms out there today to let them know we appreciate them, too!
