5/19/2023 2:03:00 PM

On Thursday, May 18, Adelphi University recognized and honored its nursing grads (or soon to be graduates) at its annual Pinning Ceremony inside the Center for Recreation and Sports. National Nurses Day/Week is held in the month of May and we caught up with some of our student-athlete nursing majors to hear why they chose to pursue a career in this profession.

“I chose to pursue nursing because it allows me the opportunity to help people when they are at their most vulnerable and allows me to make a real difference in their lives.”

Lily Miller, Women's Lacrosse

“I want to become a nurse because I believe your health is truly the most important priority. I want to help people regain their health even through the toughest times."

Brian Harinski, Men's Lacrosse

I chose to pursue nursing as a career because you impact the lives of others every day. You interact with people on the worst days of their lives and have the opportunity to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. It is rewarding to know that you made a difference in someone’s life!

Izzy Grant, Women's Lacrosse

“I decided to pursue a career in nursing because nothing is more rewarding than helping others. I love speaking to patients and being a helping hand when they are in such a vulnerable state. Putting a smile on a patient's face or seeing them make a turn for the better will never get old.”

Roodginia Guerrier, Women's Track and Field

“I chose nursing because I was inspired by mother who has been a nurse for over 25 years. I also chose nursing because I really enjoy the healthcare field, helping people, and working with a team to achieve a common goal!”

Faith Camilleri, Softball

"I want to become a nurse because I believe your health is truly the most important priority. I want to help people regain their health even through the toughest times."

David Sanzone, Men's Lacrosse

“I have always had a passion to help others and be a support system in achieving their goals. Nursing offers a unique opportunity to help make a difference in peoples lives and be a driving force in creating a healthier lifestyle. I love how the nursing field is constantly evolving providing different avenues of growth and experience."

Alexandra Beebe, Women's Lacrosse

"I chose to pursue nursing because I have always had a place in my heart to help people to can't really help themselves. Through some of their most vulnerable moments, I wanted to be the one that was there and who they would turn to for help."

Amari Johnson, Women's Track and Field

"I chose to pursue nursing as a career because you impact the lives of others every day. You interact with people on the worst days of their lives and have the opportunity to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. It is rewarding to know that you made a difference in someone’s life!"

Morgan Salmon, Women's Soccer

"I chose to pursue nursing because I wanted a career that would challenge myself every day to make a difference. I want to bring positivity and hope to someone in what could be the scariest and most uncertain times of their lives."

Meghan Pickel, Women's Lacrosse
