Our Pepin Family USF Nursing Pathway Summer Program is officially underway! 🤘💚

So far, students have participated in small-group learning activities, explored hands-on nursing skills in our simulation labs and gained insight into community-based care through experiences at the Mo-Bull Nurse Medical Clinic. They've also had the opportunity to connect with USF College of Nursing faculty, students and advisors while learning more about the many pathways available in nursing.

We're excited to continue inspiring the next generation of healthcare leaders throughout the week!

🌟 Angeline Saint Fleur, BSN, RN, defended her dissertation, "A Beacon of Hope Amidst a Sea of Despair: A Mixed Method Analysis of Psychosocial Risks and Protective Factors Associated with Preeclampsia Among Black Pregnant Women in Florida." Her research explores psychosocial risks and protective factors associated with preeclampsia among Black pregnant women, helping to advance understanding of maternal health disparities and improve support for vulnerable populations.

We celebrate this significant academic milestone and the meaningful contributions their research brings to nursing science and health care.

After more than a decade of dedicated service to the USF College of Nursing, we celebrate the retirement of Dr. Betty Jordan. 💚

Since joining USF in 2014, Dr. Jordan has made an extraordinary impact as an educator, leader and mentor. From inspiring countless students in the classroom to strengthening our academic programs as Vice Dean of the Prelicensure Program and Senior Associate Dean of Student Affairs, her influence can be seen throughout our college and beyond.

Known for her unwavering commitment to student success, thoughtful leadership and genuine kindness, Dr. Jordan helped create an environment where students, faculty and staff could thrive. Her contributions to curriculum development, faculty governance and university service have left a lasting foundation that will benefit future generations of nurses.

While her accomplishments are many, it is her integrity, generosity and belief in others that have made the greatest impact.

Dr. Jordan, thank you for your years of service, leadership and dedication to the nursing profession. Your legacy will continue to inspire us for years to come. Wishing you a joyful and well-deserved retirement! 🤘
