Duquesne Nursing Magazine Issue 11
The School of Nursing magazine is published spring of each year and highlights various
students, 
alumni, faculty and donors who make it possible to prepare the next generation of
nurses.
This year, our magazine celebrates that calling through the theme: Serving Communities,
Changing Lives. Across every story, you’ll find nurses who give back to their patients,
their students, their communities and to one another, embodying the very spirit of
our mission to “serve God by serving students, so they may, in turn, serve others."
