🎓 Graduate Spotlight: Renee Jacobs, BSN, Class of 2026
From a successful career in commercial real estate and investments to answering a calling to nursing, Renee Jacobs’ journey is an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to pursue a new dream.
Renee graduated Cum Laude from CNI College’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, passed the NCLEX-RN, and was honored with a DAISY Award recognizing the compassion, leadership, and patient-centered care she demonstrated throughout her nursing journey.
Her decision to become a nurse was deeply personal, inspired by her son’s complex cardiac journey and the nurses who made such a meaningful difference in her family’s life. Now, Renee hopes to begin her nursing career in a Pediatric Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) New Graduate Residency Program, providing other families with that same compassion, advocacy, and hope.
Renee, we are incredibly proud to have been part of your journey and can’t wait to see where nursing takes you next. 💙💛
Congratulations, Renee! Your story is just beginning.
