Congratulations on your hard-earned accomplishments and to all of our graduates!
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing
- Graduated with honors.
I did it for me. Let me reintroduce myself as, Lexie, BSN
Hard work truly pays off. Prof Clearwater, thank you for teaching me to advocate for myself, my patients and helping me to think critically. Thank you to my family and friends who have been my support system throughout this journey. Mom, thank you for always being my rock; I hope to be half the woman that you are in this world. I am grateful and love all of you.
My favorite memory was caring for a pt in the emergency room at HMC with my good friend, Starlyne. We learned the importance of focusing on one task at a time, and to ALWAYS have a green bag near the patient. Rae, thank you for taking me under your wing to guide and help me grow into the best version of myself. I can’t wait to be an E.R. nurse like you! No more white scrubs for me! Ua puka aku au i ke kulanui!
