This month, we also celebrated Nurses Week and Florence Nightingale’s 205th birthday with many events and a special webpage featuring stories about nursing research, education, practice, service, advocacy and innovation. Many thanks to all of my fellow nurses who have answered their unique and special calling to care.

Our new issue of Transformations in Nursing and Health is on its way to you! If you do not receive one, it may be time to update your mailing address by emailing nursingalumni@osu.edu.

Have a wonderful, healthy summer!
