Webber International University's nursing program is proudly celebrating its first graduate, Jaronda Terrell. Terrell graduated in December and successfully passed her NCLEX-RN nursing boards this February.
Nursing Program Director Jenafer Garcia praised Terrell's dedication and achievements, stating, "Jaronda is the embodiment of what it means to be a nurse. She exceeded every expectation I have ever had for a nursing student, setting the bar high for those who will follow in her footsteps. She didn't just meet the standards of our program-she defined them, proving that success in nursing is achieved through academic excellence, compassionate care, and sheer grit."
Webber International University admitted its first nursing students into the core program in Fall 2022 as part of its commitment to addressing workforce needs in the healthcare industry.
"I chose to become a nurse because, as cliché as it sounds, I wanted to help people," Terrell said, adding "treating a patient is absolutely important, but so is being compassionate."
Terrell believes her life experiences and education have prepared her for a successful career in healthcare.
Webber's President/CEO, Dr. Nelson Marquez, celebrated the success of the first graduate by saying, "Congratulations to Jaronda for this accomplishment-what a life-changing event. Thanks for defining the standard for the program."
