“Caring is the essence of nursing.”
— Dr. Jean Watson
Dear School of Nursing graduates,
Whether at the undergraduate or graduate level, earning your nursing degree is an outstanding achievement. Thanks to your dedication and perseverance, you have earned the knowledge and skills needed to provide excellent care for your patients. Commencement is a significant milestone in your nursing journey, and it is certainly worth celebrating.
Your individual paths to nursing are unique, but they are all rooted in something similar — a desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Dr. Jean Watson, a nurse theorist and nursing professor originally from West Virginia, has built her career on the concept of care. “Caring is the essence of nursing,” Watson says, and I am sure you will agree.
I hope your time at the WVU School of Nursing has left you with a passion for lifelong learning, and I hope you will always carry the values of our school with you: integrity, excellence, compassion, respect, engagement, and inclusivity.
Congratulations to each of you, and welcome to our alumni family!
Sincerely,
Tara Hulsey, PhD, RN, CNE, FAAN
