Hunter Nursing

Last week, we celebrated alongside the entire Hunter College community at Commencement 🎓💜

To our Hunter Nursing graduates: your compassion, resilience, and dedication brought you to this moment, and we couldn’t be prouder. The future of healthcare is brighter because of you.

Congratulations to our Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing graduates and award recipients! We can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make in hospitals, clinics, and communities across NYC and beyond. 💜🩺

Please join us in congratulating Hunter student Lydia Peal on being selected for the TRAIN Program (Translational Research and Implementation Science for Nurses), an NIH/NHLBI-funded initiative focused on advancing cardiovascular health equity. 🎉

The TRAIN Program is a highly competitive opportunity designed to help DNP students strengthen their skills in translating evidence into practice and advancing implementation science in real-world healthcare settings. The program specifically supports nurses from historically underrepresented backgrounds in science as they work to improve cardiovascular outcomes in underserved communities.

Lydia’s selection reflects her dedication to improving health outcomes in her community, strengthening her clinical and research skills, and advancing evidence-based care. We are proud to see Hunter Nursing students contributing to the advancement of cardiovascular care and implementation science.

Our Hunter Nursing student leaders recently traveled to Houston to attend the 74th Annual National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) Convention, an inspiring gathering of nursing students, faculty, and leaders from across the country.

Throughout the conference, students participated in educational sessions, explored emerging innovations in nursing, strengthened their clinical knowledge, and built meaningful connections with peers and professionals nationwide. Opportunities like these are critical in preparing the next generation of nurse leaders to advance health equity and transform care.

We’re also proud to share that Hunter-Bellevue’s Nursing Student Association was recognized with the New York State Newsletter Contest Award, a testament to the leadership, creativity, and dedication of our students.

Congratulations to our student leaders, the entire NDP team, and faculty advisors Dr. Tan and Dr. Thompson for this outstanding achievement. 💜

Help us celebrate them in the comments!

Last week was Black Maternal Health Week. During this time, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing health equity for Black mothers and families. Black maternal health outcomes continue to highlight disparities in access to care, support, and resources, particularly during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Improving these outcomes requires a stronger approach to maternal health that includes both physical and mental care. This month, we’re proud to highlight the work of Dr. Bobbie Posmontier, the inaugural Evelyn Lauder Chair in Psychiatric Mental Health. As a leader in perinatal mental health, her work focuses on postpartum depression and improving outcomes for mothers and infants, including the development of innovative digital tools to expand access to care.

At the Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, this commitment is reflected in how we educate and train future nurses to provide equitable, patient-centered care across communities.
