NMU School of Nursing

To the dads who are us, inspire us, support us, and cheer us — Happy Father’s Day from the NMU School of Nursing!

Dr. Kaycee Jacobson recently attended the Access, Connection and Engagement Symposium in Charlotte, North Carolina. She noted that it was informative and engaging and she was excited to share what she learned with other faculty.

Please join the NMU School of Nursing in congratulating our faculty colleagues on their well-deserved promotion and/or tenure. Their dedication to excellence in teaching, scholarship, service, and student success continues to strengthen our nursing community and inspire the next generation of nurses.

This family of nurses is making a difference at University of Michigan Health-West! And the youngest of these nurses is a 2025 graduate of NMU's nursing program!

Love seeing NMU School of Nursing shine! Dr. Sarah Jennings, Associate Professor and Lene Awad, 2023 BSN alum, crossed paths at the Michigan Emergency Nurses Association Conference in Detroit earlier this month. Lene presented her quality improvement project on educating RNs about insulin pump self-management in the Emergency Department. Fantastic work, Lene!

The NMU School of Nursing remembers and honors those who have served this Memorial Day.

Happy Nurses Appreciation Day to all of the nurses out there, with a special congratulations going out to NMU's May 2026 Nursing Cohort! Preparing the next generation of nurses is only possible because of the continued dedication of our amazing faculty, preceptors and alumni, whose support plays a vital role in shaping and strengthening our future nurses.

🎉We would like to say congratulations and welcome to all of the new Xi Sigma Chapter members.
