We like to switch things up around here, but there’s one thing we just can’t get enough of: a good old-fashioned “look how far we’ve come” post.

And this one is pretty hard to beat.

Almost three years ago to the day, you did the coolest thing: you decided to be first.

Since then, you’ve learned, you’ve grown, you’ve led, and you’ve probably consumed about 100 smoothies along the way.

Today, you walk the halls of Mondor as seniors, ready to soak up every last minute of Friartown.

Not everyone is cut out to be a trailblazer. But you and your families took a leap of faith and trusted us to build something special alongside you. We’ll always be grateful that you did.

Happy last “first day” of the academic year, Class of 2027. You’ll always hold a special place in our hearts.

It’s going to be an amazing year. Keep making us proud.

How can we better prepare future nurses to integrate nutrition into patient care? Our faculty are exploring that question through new research.

Published in "Nurse Educator", a peer-reviewed journal focused on nursing education, the work grew from an interdisciplinary collaboration among Brett Romano Ely, Ph.D., assistant professor of health sciences, Amy Delaney, Ph.D., RN, assistant professor of nursing, and Randi Beranbaum, MS, RD, adjunct professor of health sciences. Together, they brought expertise across disciplines to develop innovative, clinical case-based teaching strategies aligned with the AACN Essentials.

Nutrition is an essential part of patient care, yet it can be underemphasized in nursing education. The study explores how competency-based approaches can strengthen students’ knowledge, confidence and readiness for practice.

The publication is a great example of how collaboration across disciplines can lead to meaningful educational innovation and better prepare our students for practice.

Join us in congratulating the Providence College Student Nurses Association’s 2026–2027 Executive Board! 🎉

As a chapter of the National Student Nurses’ Association (NSNA), the Student Nurses Association gives our nursing students opportunities to connect with peers, grow as future nursing professionals, and get involved in their profession.

The new executive board is looking forward to the year ahead and is excited to bring fresh ideas, new opportunities, and more engagement across the campus.

We asked, you answered — and wow, what a summer! 🎉

🏥 Emma McCumber '27 (Health Policy & Management) wrapped up a ten-week internship at Edelman, gaining a firsthand look at the strategy behind healthcare communications. As she put it in a recent LinkedIn post: "I'm leaving this summer with a deeper understanding of healthcare communications, an appreciation for the strategy and collaboration behind the work, and lessons and relationships I'll carry with me into what comes next."

👩‍⚕️ Hannah Dube '27 celebrated "graduation" from her 10-week Student Nurse Internship at Landmark Medical Center! Two days a week she precepted on a tele/progressive care unit, plus a day in class and rotations through the Operating Room, Labor and Delivery, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, Cancer Center, Emergency Room, and more.

🩸 Anna Lord '27 finished her Student Nurse Internship (SNI) at South County Health and is officially phlebotomy certified! She'll continue working per diem as a Patient Care Technician (PCT) at the hospital throughout the school year.

🏐 Mac Miller '27 (Health Sciences) was named a captain for Women's Volleyball — congrats, Mac! (Spotted this one on Instagram — she really is #1 😉)

So proud of these students for their hard work this summer. Way to go! 💪

Yesterday, the Department of Health Sciences hosted an Anatomage User Summit, welcoming more than three dozen educators from high schools, colleges, universities, and medical schools across the region for a day of hands-on workshops and panel discussions.

It was the largest Anatomage summit hosted to date — and the Anatomage team was especially impressed by our A&P classrooms! Our own A&P instructors joined in too, and we can't wait to see the new ways they bring Anatomage into their teaching this academic year.

A huge shoutout to Kim Chula-Maguire, DPT, Assistant Clinical Professor of Health Sciences, who championed the idea of bringing this professional development opportunity to SNHS. 🙌

Thank you to Dr. Chula-Maguire and everyone who helped make the day possible — we're excited to keep strengthening our partnership with Anatomage as we take this technology to the next level! 🔬📚
