🎉Congratulations Lt. Col. Jeanniton! 🎉

Muriana Jeanniton, DNP, RN '06 has been selected for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve. The Army only promoted 14% of those considered for this year’s cycle. Though Dr. Jeanniton works as a behavioral health nurse practioner, she competed as a field surgical nurse due to the lack of psychiatric positions at the Lt. Col. Rank.

📢 Check out the impact our Alumni are making!

Francesca Etienne, RN '21 noticed the lack of community among healthcare workers outside of work shortly after she became a nurse in 2021. Recogizing the need for support, Francesca founded the Beyond Nursing Experience Conference. "I wanted to create a space where nurses could connect, build supportive community, and access resources to help them prioritize self-care." For Francesca, the conference has been transformative not only for the attendees but also for herself. The most recent Beyond Nursing Experience Conference was held in October with the theme Minority Women in Healthcare. "Studies show that only 12% of nurses identify as Black, which can feel especially intimidating." Francesca’s efforts have built a thriving community where nurses uplift and inspire each other, creating a ripple effect of empowerment in the field of healthcare

💙 Lessons From a Working Mom 💙

The daughter of Irish Immigrants, Peg Walsh, says that becoming a Labouré nurse changed her life. "My entire family celebrated my graduation," she says. "They knew that nursing would enable me to help many people, including my family." Now retired, Peg enjoys supporting Labouré College of Healthcare, who many first-generation students including immigrants and children of immigrants, remind her of herself. She is grateful that her nursing skills enabled her to care for her husband Joe before he died, and proudly displays her Labouré acceptance letter, diploma, yearbook, and other nursing memorabilia in her home.

She was delighted when her daughter Catherine Walsh wrote a story about her for The Boston Globe as a Mother's Day tribute in 2018.

A daughter’s Mother’s Day tribute to Peg Brunnock Walsh, 81, who taught her eight children the value of hard work.
