Graduation is more than just a ceremony; it’s a celebration of accomplishments and future plans that marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another. For Daniel, Katherine, Melody, and Michael of the University of Maryland School of Nursing Class of 2023, it’s a moment that reflects their journey filled with hard work, learning, and personal growth! These nursing grads stand out not just for their academic achievements, but for their drive, intelligence, and heartfelt commitment to making a positive change in healthcare. Their story is one of ambition, diversity, and compassion, setting a strong foundation for their future endeavors!
An early morning grad session at the Reflecting Pool and Jefferson Memorial was the perfect way to start their graduation celebrations!
The rising sun, casting golden hues over the US Capitol and Washington Monument, provided a breathtaking view to toss caps and celebrate the start of our session with some individual and group portraits.
With Lincoln under construction, we decided to split our time between the Reflecting Pool and Jefferson, and y’all… it was GORGEOUS!
The Jefferson Memorial, with its iconic architecture and panoramic DC views, offered a beautiful mix of locations with white columns AND beautiful views of the Washington Monument. It was the perfect spot to create lots of variety for this fabulous group of four!
As they move forward, Daniel, Katherine, Melody, and Michael have set their sights on specializing as Cardiac ICU Nurses.
Their choice speaks volumes about their passion for providing critical care and their dedication to making a significant impact in the lives of their patients.
Their ambitions don’t stop here. With plans to pursue further education and achieve doctorates as CRNAs or DNP, they’re on a path to not just advance their careers but also to contribute significantly to the medical field. Their journey is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and continuous learning!
As they step into the world of healthcare, these graduates are ready to make a tangible impact, armed with knowledge, compassion, and a relentless drive to improve patient care. They stand as inspiring examples of how dedication and hard work can truly make a difference in the world.
I so hope you enjoy scrolling through their Jefferson Memorial graduation photos!
