I want to thank my preceptor, Dr.Karen Doherty, for taking me under her wing. She is an excellent educator who creates a warm and welcoming classroom for her students. I want to thank all my Professors at UMass Dartmouth for guiding me through the MSN program. I want to thank my family for being supportive when I had to miss special events in their lives due to school commitments. Lastly, I want to thank all my coworkers, past, present, and future. Nursing is not just a profession but it is a community. Nurses are some of the most compassionate, intelligent, and generous people you will encounter in your life. So, thank you for all you do to keep people in our communities happy, healthy, and thriving.
