Saint Anselm Jean School of Nursing & Health Sciences

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Haley Ferguson ‘25 and welcome to my Day in the Life! We’re celebrating National Public Health Week and I’m so excited to show you what I’m up to on the Hilltop. I am a senior Community and Public Health major with a Sociology minor and a Human Relations and Work minor. I’m from Andover, MA and in my free time I love to spend time with family and friends, read, go to the beach, and try new coffee places. Join me as I take you through my day at Saint A’s, the Jean School of Nursing & Health Sciences and my internship at Catholic Medical Center! 🏥 #publichealth #NPHW Saint Anselm College American Public Health Association

Congratulations to Jean School BSN students Sara Doucet ’25 and Lauren Lejano ’25 who were selected to attend the AACN 2025 Student Policy Summit last weekend in Washington DC. Sara and Lauren each learned fascinating information regarding the federal policy process and nursing’s role in professional advocacy. Dean Diane Uzarski also accompanied them to Capitol Hill where they had meetings with NH legislators and staffs. They returned home and plan to share their experience with fellow nursing students!

I'm so grateful to Duke University School of Nursing colleagues Nicole Petsas Blodgett, PhD, RN, CHSE and Raymond Brisson III for braving winter travel to Saint Anselm Jean School of Nursing & Health Sciences today - We had an invigorating day discussing simulation operations as we prepare to occupy Grappone Hall in August. Both teams shared experiences creating student-centered simulation learning in our prelicensure nursing programs. We appreciated your visit and willingness to share your vast knowledge and expertise in simulation learning with our team! It takes a village!

📣 NEWS: Nursing Students Blessed Before First Clinical These talented students from the Nursing Class of 2027 are ready for their first clinical experiences! 🙏⁣ The Blessing of the Hands ceremony is one of our favorite traditions and an important step in the journey of a Saint A's nursing student. Student Nursing Association president Maria Dagher gave a reflection during the event, saying “Always remember, you are part of a team and your success is built upon supporting and uplifting one another. No one becomes a nurse alone, and it’s the strength of the community that helps us grow.” Read all of their names and see a BIG photo gallery in this story: https://lnkd.in/e4tQg4nP Diane M.
