combination.” And no where is that combination more evident than in a nurse. Today we are here to celebrate the accomplishments and the future of the graduates of the UCLA School of Nursing. This moment is the culmination of hard work, long hours, intense focus and dedication. On behalf of the faculty we congratulate you on earning your degree. There is no greater time in history to be a nurse. With a President who believes in nursing and a healthcare system that is in the throes of reform, the future of healthcare is closely tied to the future of nursing and the graduates of the UCLA School of Nursing are the face of the future. Today you are embarking on an amazing adventure. The people you will meet and the experiences you will have along the way will be unpredictable and amazing, fascinating and frustrating, heart-wrenching and inspiring. In the school of nursing here at UCLA, we have fostered an atmosphere of learning and practice. We have informed and enlightened. We have instilled passion and a commitment to caring. We have provided guidance and offered you a choice of paths. Today you will carry this gained experience and wisdom into the world. Some of you will be healers. Some caretakers. Some researchers. Others administrators. Some of you will be teachers and educators. All of you will be advocates and influencers. And all of you are the future of healthcare.
