The UAB School of Nursing recently welcomed a new Blazer Family member!

Assistant Professor Dr. Allison Jones gave birth to Baby Jones last weekend, and while visiting her in the NICU at UAB Hospital, Dr. Jones ran into several former students. Wanting to take a group photo, they sent a page throughout the unit, and several UABSON alumni joined in!

We are so grateful for our UABSON family. Once a Blazer, always a Blazer!

Meet recent graduate Julia York (BSN 2022)!

One week after her 12th birthday, doctors told her parents she had a brain tumor and less than a year to live. Julia defied the odds and now, a decade later, she has graduated from UAB School of Nursing. Her next step? Joining the Hematology-Oncology/Bone Marrow Transplant unit at Children's of Alabama.

As we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, one of our recent BSN graduates shared the story of how she—and her mother—found a calling in nursing.

Jade England's journey began in the NICU, alongside her twin sister. Their first few months faced several challenges, but the experience led their mother Tara Wood to nursing. Now, more than 20 years later, Jade is following in her mother's footsteps and returning to the NICU in order to make a difference in her patients' lives.

“I want to be able to be that nurse to let the parents know that I was in their child’s place. I just want to provide the best care possible and hopefully sharing my story will make a difference in their stay in the NICU. I don’t want to give them false hope, but I also want them to know that miracles happen.”
