🧡 💚 a triple dose of inspo from our
⬇️⬇️⬇️

🌟 Priscilla Bezerra, ABSN 26, was one of three students who represented at the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Summit 2026 in Washington, D.C., March 30-31. 🗣️“As a nursing student, I’ve focused on patient care at the bedside," she said. "This summit challenged me to think beyond that, recognizing policies shaped on Capitol Hill directly influence the care we provide.... Being a nurse means being an advocate for our patients and the future of health care.”

🌟 Isabella Cukrow, 4+1 M.P.H. student, presented her public health thesis poster on patient–provider communication around medical cannabis in care, focusing on barriers to open conversations during treatment, at the 6th Annual Cannabis and Psychedelics Symposium. 🗣️ “This experience was a meaningful milestone in my academic journey and reinforced the importance of provider education in improving patient-centered care and communication,” Cukrow said of the annual event organized by faculty Denise C. Vidot, PhD.

🌟 Paige Lisson, BSN ’27, joined fellow nursing students and their
faculty advisor Régine P. Reaves, PhD, MSN, MPH, for the annual National Student Nurses' Association Convention in Houston this weekend. 🗣️ “Being surrounded by such passionate, driven future nurses from across the country was both inspiring and energizing," said Lisson, newly named president of NSNA's University of Miami chapter for the 2026-27 school year. "It reinforced my commitment to leadership, advocacy, and the future of our profession."
