I have had the privilege of going through both Edgewood College’s Undergraduate and Graduate programs in Nursing. These programs lay the foundation of the science of nursing, but also give their students the gift of understanding the art of nursing. The focus of Edgewood’s program is not only on how to do the job well, but also why it matters. Edgewood’s nursing program is about taking care of people. The dignity and respect that the school has for the profession in conjunction with the Dominican values of Justice, Compassion, Partnership, Community, and Truth have prepared me to lead change and impact the profession that I and so many others hold very dear to our hearts. In a time when healthcare is vigorously changing, I cannot speak highly enough of the integrity of this program.
