Celebrating our May 2026 BSN Graduates!
Mia Klein has joined the INVOA New Grad RN Residency Program in Adult Acute Care. She writes, "I am so grateful to be leaving the JMU Nursing Program with so much. My time in this program has given me the chance to use my learned intellect and display my skills that come with being a great nurse. Although, I was faced with countless challenges and tests of my strength, I was able to make it through, and prove that I was where I meant to be. I am forever grateful for the memories this program gave me, good and bad, and I will use them to fuel my passion even further as I continue my career. Thank you to the professors, clinical instructors, and mentors who pushed me toward my greatest capabilities. I couldn't have done this without the support of my family and friends, who stood by me throughout this chapter of my life. All in all, I am honored to go into my career with JMU Nursing School in my background, and am forever grateful for everything that it's given me. I wish the best to everyone else in this program, and I can't wait to see what we do next. 💜💛"

Hannah Kerr has accepted a position in the Intensive Care Unit at Reston Hospital Center. She writes, "I can't begin to express how grateful I am to have been a part of JMU's amazing nursing program and to have finally made it to the finish line of this chapter. This program has allowed me to fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a nurse while giving me an incredible support system and wonderful friends who I will cherish for life. The program has challenged me in so many ways, but has shown me that going out of your comfort zone is the best way to become who you want to be. I want to thank all of the amazing faculty members who have constantly encouraged us, supported us, and shaped us into the graduates we are today. Thank you to my fellow classmates for making class and clinicals so fun, it has been so nice to move through the program with such a bright group of people. I am so proud of everyone's growth and I can't wait to see the amazing things we will accomplish as nurses! Go Dukes!"

Celebrating our May 2026 BSN Graduates!
Catherine Keith has accepted a RN position on the Neuro ICU at UVA Health. She writes, "These last 2 years in the nursing program have been the most challenging, rewarding, and transformative. I have grown so much as a person throughout the program, and I couldn't be more thankful. Through all of the late-night studying, long clinical days, and tears, I learned how to push through moments of self-doubt and kept going. Looking back, I can see how every challenge contributed to my growth and shaped me into a more resilient and capable nursing student. To my family, thank you for providing so much support and encouragement throughout the last 2 years. I couldn't have done it without you constantly reminding me that I am strong enough. To my friends, thank you for pushing me to take study breaks and constantly reminding me to breathe, laugh, and step away when I needed it most. Lastly, thank you to all of the professors who challenged me and supported me. I will forever be grateful for the journey the JMU School of Nursing has given me and for the experiences that have shaped me into the nurse I am becoming. Congrats to the rest of my cohort, and as always, GO DUKES!"
