    As the academic year winds down and summer begins, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey of our Practical Nurse programs across New York State.

    Whether you're a student wrapping up your final exams or an educator preparing to teach through the summer, this season is a time for both rest and renewed purpose.

    🎓 To Our Students: You are the heart of our programs. Your dedication, resilience, and compassion are shaping the future of healthcare. But as we celebrate your achievements, we also recognize that program success is never the work of students alone.

    🍎 To Nurse Educators and Staff: Many of you continue to teach, mentor, and guide through the summer months. Your commitment does not go unnoticed. You are the steady hands shaping tomorrow’s nurses, and your work is vital.

    Wait !!! At the Core of It All—Our Patients: Nursing education is ultimately about those we serve. Every lesson, every clinical, every simulation is designed to prepare nurses who will provide safe, compassionate, and competent care. Patients are the true center of our mission.

    Remember this 🤝 We’re Here for You: Whether you're taking a well-earned break or continuing your work this summer, know that the Council is here to support, guide, advise, and champion the causes of PN programs—public or private—across New York State.

    🌸 Happy Mother's Day to All Nurses! 🌸
    Today, we celebrate not only the mothers among us but also the incredible nurses who embody the essence of motherhood in their daily roles. Whether you are a biological mother, a mother figure, or someone who has yet to experience motherhood, your nurturing spirit and unwavering dedication make a profound impact on countless lives.
    Nurses, regardless of their specialty, often find themselves in the role of a caregiver, a mentor, and a source of comfort. You provide the compassion, support, and strength that define the term "Mother." Your ability to care for others, to heal, and to offer solace in times of need is a testament to the nurturing qualities that make you extraordinary.
    On this special day, we honor and thank you for your tireless efforts and the love you bring to your profession. Your contributions to the well-being of others are invaluable, and your role as a caregiver is deeply appreciated.
    Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing nurses who make a difference every day! đź’–

    Celebrating Nurses Week & Teachers Appreciation Week.

    This week, we honor the incredible contributions of both nurses and teachers.

    These professions may seem different, but they share a common goal: shaping the future and saving lives

    Nurses wear many hats, including that of an educator, guiding patients and families with compassion and knowledge.

    Similarly, teachers advocate for their students, showing empathy and dedication every day. Both roles require advocacy, compassion, and empathy, making them vital to our communities.

    Many, reap the benefits of both worlds, experiencing firsthand the life-saving impact of nurses and the transformative power of teachers.

    Though many are not there for the pay…. We hope and pray that one day, their salaries will reflect their immense value and dedication.
