A Note From Mrs. Flanders

A NOTE OF THANKS


When I heard the news that I was not selected for the position, it was a very difficult time for me. Your response of support and strength made helped me through that time. I cannot thank you enough for all of your efforts in my behalf. You presented yourselves to the Board and the Administration as professionals. You stood up with dignity and pride.

I don’t know what the future holds for me. I do know that I am not giving up and I hope to be able to continue teaching. It will take some time to see what unfolds. As I so often say, it depends.

At the end of each semester I have found that I experience emotions of sadness that I am ending a close relationship with a wonderful group of people and feelings of pride and happiness as I look back over the semester and see the growth the students have made in 18 short weeks.

Each one of you has a special place in my heart. It is such a privilege to be able to assist you in your pursuit of the profession of nursing. I have the pleasure of seeing each of you achieve the “desired outcome” of moving up another level in your pursuit. I see so much talent, intelligence, and caring for the clients you serve and for one another. That first day when you are full of doubts, I am full of hope and confidence. Then gradually I see you begin to become confident. I see you bringing your unique gifts to our profession. Now you are moving on to another step and you will be challenged to grow in even bigger steps. Know that you have it in you to achieve this and give it all you have!

I will be following your progress. I want to see each one of you receive your pin and your degree.
