Thank You!
I just wanted to send you and all the professors a heartfelt
thank you for the congratulations note you sent. It honestly
brought me to tears. I was so touched. My experience at
Jewell was so amazing and memorable. I can’t say enough
about the amazing staff you have there and how much they
shaped me into the nurse I am today. Please let everyone
know how very grateful I am for everything you all have
taught me. I will always strive to be a nurse that makes you all
proud and who keeps your legacy of a love for nursing going.
Thank you so much!
I wouldn’t be here without all of you.
