The Loma Linda University (LLU) School of Nursing recently celebrated a major milestone: during the commencement ceremony on June 10, the 10,000th graduate walked across the stage to receive their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
The 2018 School of Nursing class included 210 students receiving bachelors, masters, or doctoral degrees. They were the 112th class to graduate from the School of Nursing, the eldest school at the university.
Four awards were presented to graduates during the School of Nursing ceremony: the President’s Award and three Dean’s Awards to a Doctor of Nursing Practice student, graduate nursing student, and undergraduate nursing student.
A Community Engagement Award was also presented to Dynnette and Kenneth Hart who were chosen for their combined legacy which totals more than 100 years of service on two continents. Dynnette Hart is a retired associate dean emerita of the LLU School of Nursing.
During the commencement speech, graduates were encouraged not to accept the status quo as they enter their new careers, but to always look for ways to innovate and provide better service to the patients and families they serve.
