A Message from the Dean Congratulations on your academic achievement!

On behalf of the faculty, staff and administration, I extend my most heartfelt “Congratulations” to you, your family and friends. The pinning ceremony is a symbolic welcoming of newly graduated nurses into the nursing profession. Today, we celebrate your hard work and achievement in completing a demanding and rigorous course of study. You should be proud, as should all who supported and assisted you in your efforts.

Pinning is a day of celebration, and it is also a day of reflection on what lies ahead. Whatever path you choose, I am confident you have acquired the skills you need to be successful. Whether you pursue a career in public service, private industry or academe, I know you will make a difference.

It has been a privilege and a pleasure to host you while pursuing your nursing degree. You have learned much, and the School of Nursing has benefited in turn from your presence. I hope you will recall your years here with a sense that they were both happy and productive. As a member of the Hampton University School of Nursing distinguished alumni, you will always be cherished at Hampton University.

I hope that you will proudly wear your pin, as it distinguishes you from other professionals. The pin is a treasured symbol that conveys to others your association and everlasting bond with Hampton University School of Nursing. Please know that this symbol of service involves many professional rights and responsibilities. With the necessary tools, we send into the world the next wave of public health researchers, educators, practitioners, advocates, and leaders. I am proud of the ingenuity and hard work that went into each and every one of your degrees. I look forward to hearing about how you will advance in the field in the years to come.

With the success of graduation, come more challenges and opportunities in life. Face them both with the same zeal and determination, as you have always done. I salute all of you and everyone that had anything to do with where you are today. Please remember this one thing; Nurses make a difference, by choosing to care.

God Bless,

HAMPTON UNIVERSITY School of Nursing The School of Nursing is an integral unit of Hampton University and shares its goals and ideals of excellence in the teaching-living-learning process. Nursing education at Hampton University began with the Hampton Training School for Nurses in 1891. At the turn of the century, Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute and Dixie Hospital (now Sentara CarePlex) partnered to offer premier nursing education and health care for Peninsula residents. Since 1944, the nursing faculty at Hampton University has provided high-quality professional nursing education at the bachelor of science degree level. This undergraduate program has the distinction of being the oldest baccalaureate nursing program in the Commonwealth. In 1976, Hampton University instituted a master of science degree program in nursing, making Hampton the first historically black college and university (HBCU) to offer a master’s degree in nursing. In 1999, the School of Nursing achieved another distinction when Hampton University instituted a PhD nursing program, the first at a HBCU. The Center for Minority Family Health serves as the research arm of the School of Nursing. The School of Nursing is approved by the Virginia Board of Nursing and is fully accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

Class of 2014 NURSING PIN The School of Nursing’s pin is a representation of the middle of the Hampton University seal. The official seal was accepted in 1875 and only the name has changed as Hampton has evolved from the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute to Hampton Institute to Hampton University.

The symbols on the seal and the pin are a plow and sheaths of grain; books of knowledge surmounted by a globe of the world; a Bible stand; and, an old-fashioned printing press. The sunrise over Hampton Creek symbolizes the rise of educational opportunities, and the boat on the water symbolizes the principal medium of transportation to Hampton during its early history.

Each new graduate is eligible to receive the Hampton University School of Nursing pin, which symbolizes the transition from student to nurse.

Dedication Lois Price Spratlen, MN, PhD, RN, CNS, FAAN December 31, 1931- March 30, 2013

Dr. Lois Price Spratlen was a 1954 graduate of Hampton Institute with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She went on to complete her MN at UCLA in 1972 and received her PhD in urban social planning from the University of Washington (UW) in 1976. She had a 55-year career in nursing because she started the year before becoming an RN by working part-time in public health at King’s Daughter’s Hospital in Norfolk, VA. She insisted through her retirement in 2008, that she never left nursing because she approached her work using the nursing process, even when serving for many years as an ombudsman.

Her professional achievements are truly outstanding. Some examples include: initiation into Sigma Theta Tau (Nursing Honorary Society) in 1972; certification as an adult psychiatric mental health nurse with prescriptive authority (1985); becoming the first nurse and woman to serve as UW Ombudsman and Ombudsman for Sexual Harassment (1988); advancing through faculty ranks to Full Professor of Nursing at the UW in 1992; publishing extensively and serving as a journal co-editor in ombudsing as well as a member of an editorial board in psychosocial nursing; being named a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN) in 1999; induction into the Washington State Nurses Hall of Fame (2006); and receiving several lifetime achievement awards from nursing and community organizations.

She was generous in her contributions to Mary Mahoney Professional Nurses Organization in Seattle, WA as well as to other nursing organizations. We are most appreciative of her generosity to her alma mater in creating the Lois Price Spratlen Endowed Chair in Community and Mental Health Nursing.

Hampton University honors the late Dr. Lois Price Spratlen as a distinguished alumna on this occasion of the 60th Anniversary of her graduation. The School of Nursing proudly inducts her into its Hall of Fame.

Now that this particular journey has come to an end, I could not for a second think of letting it end without thanking those who helped me to begin. There are no amount of words, beautiful poetry, or cards that would allow me to fully and abundantly express my gratitude or my thanks to my family and friends. I Thank you all for allowing me the once in a lifetime opportunity to pursue my dreams. You put your lives on hold so that I could further mine all for personal gain and to have the opportunity to effectively provide for Elisha. I thank God for blessing me with you all with loving hearts and kind actions, for your never ending love, lessons and encouragement. I will never be able to physically nor mentally THANK YOU but for the rest of my life and the many more journeys to come, I will forever be indebted to you all and will find joy in always pushing myself and Elisha to show our appreciation.

We LOVE YOU, Winter & Elisha

Mary Anderson-Williams is a loving daughter, mother, wife, and student. She is a dedicated student who has put her family, friends, and classmates in her basket and continued to press forward. Despite the dai- ly challenges of being a military wife, mother, and dealing with sick kids, early morning and late nights. Mary has kept her eye on the prize. She is a very uplifting friend to all who has studied, confided, and fellowshipped with my awesome lady. While I did back to back deploy- ments Mary took the helm and steadied her course. She is the brightest star that twin- kles in the night sky and leads us through the seas. Mary is our com- pass. As a mother of four and a wife to a sailor Mrs. Williams doesn’t al- low any of the tasks at hand to slow or hinder her forward progress. We encouraged her to set her goals high and to shoot for the moon and beyond. Mary is a very self driven and determined young lady who will sacrifice herself in order for others to be healed and healthy. Congratulations on this glorious day. We love you and may all of your dreams and desires continue to come true! We are beyond proud of you.

Amen.

Lord, Help Me

Lord, please help me bring . . . Comfort where there is pain, Courage where there is fear, Hope where there is despair, Acceptance when the End is near, and A touch that is gentle with tenderness, patience and love.

Amen.
