ELLISVILLE – To make the “cut” and be accepted into a nursing program is difficult. To graduate can be even more challenging. Some of the 26, new Associate Degree Nursing graduates from Jones College didn’t think they’d graduate because of the obstacles they had to overcome to achieve their dreams. Thirty-one-year-old Jennifer Ha from Oak Grove saw the Covid 19 epidemic as an opportunity to enter the healthcare field to make a difference. Despite the trials she endured, she’s one step closer to her dream of being a nurse practitioner now that she has her A.D.N degree.

“I was living in Texas as a nanny, and it seemed like the perfect time to go back and pursue something where I knew I could help people. Being a nanny, I had some experience keeping people alive,” Ha joked. “Really, I started nursing to help people like my dad who was sick right before I took my entrance exam. He passed away nine days before the test. I’m still trying to make him proud from heaven, and by the grace of God, I’m here today, graduating.”

Covid shut downs and isolation also impacted 23-year-old, Mathews Newton from Hurley, whose journey was upended while at USM on the early acceptance track with special honors into nursing school. Being a first-generation college student in his adopted family and with little computer experience, Newton quit college.

“After the first semester I just couldn’t handle it, mental health wise. I just shut my laptop off one day and never opened it again,” Newton explained.

While working in home health, he heard about Jones College’s A.D. Nursing program and was back on his journey to become a nurse.

“I didn’t want to give up; I still wanted to be a nurse. I was going to get my pre-requisite classes and return to USM, but I got accepted into this program after being really discouraged. The fact that I went through with it and then got into nursing school, which is harder than they make it seem, today is sweet relief!”

He’s accepted a job at Wesley Hospital’s ICU and is now exploring options in nursing on the I.T. education side of the field.

“I was rarely on a computer before, but I have learned to really like it once I got used to it. I now enjoy helping with charting and navigating the new charting systems,” Newton said.

Navigating through the challenges of nursing school may have been a little easier than the tests of being a mother for Bridgit Sears. The 30-year-old from Ellisville managed to work part-time at Pineview Nursing Home in Waynesboro, juggling her four kids, ages 11, 10, 7, and 3, with a baby on the way, and a husband who works on the oil rig every other week.

“The biggest challenge was having a job and kids. I would have to wait sometimes until 10 or 11 at night when everyone was in bed to be able to study and then run off of three or four hours of sleep the next day,” Sears shared. “When they tell you nursing school is hard, it is! Blood, sweat and tears goes into it and it’s a lot of work. A lot of time, mentally.”

With her Practical Nursing and Associate Degree in Nursing complete, Sears now has her sights on earning her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.

“It means a lot to me to set a good example for my kids and my family too. Hardly anyone in my family graduated from college so this is a big deal!” Sears said.

For 60 years, Jones College’s Associate Degree Nursing program has been sending its graduates into the healthcare field. The December Pinning Ceremony is a celebration of hard work and support from family and friends. Class President, Anna Webb of Petal summed up the past five-semesters the 26 new nurse graduates endured and learned.

“We studied for every test, gritted our teeth, put in the hours on those care plans and we practiced our tails off for skill check offs. We celebrated our wins, and we got through our failures and became friends in the process. We not only learned the course material, but we also learned that we are strong, capable, resilient and intelligent people,” Webb shared with the audience of friends and family.

She continued, “Despite the difficulty of the curriculum, our lives outside this program did not stop. We celebrated many milestones like engagements, marriages and even a baby shower. We had to face the harsh realities of life too. We all share the calling to become nurses and have developed an extensive knowledge of the nursing process, countless skills and lifelong friendships.”

All 26 students began the five-semester program and culminated the ceremony by lighting their lamps and proudly reciting the Florence Nightingale Pledge, who is the founder of nursing.

ELLISVILLE – With 48 Jones College Practical Nursing students successfully completing the three-semester full-time program and five-semester part time program, some health care gaps will be filled. However, Director of the Jones College Practical Nursing program, Amy Myers said there will always be a need as nurses face some challenges.

“Today, we celebrate the dedication and compassion of our practical nursing graduates, who are stepping into South Mississippi’s healthcare workforce at a critical time. With the region facing healthcare shortages and increased demand, these graduates are ready to make an immediate impact. Their skills and empathy will help meet the needs of local communities, ensuring that quality care remains accessible and compassionate for all,” said Myers.

Amongst the class of graduates was 53-year-old, John Rogers from Collins. After working in a variety of fields like his mother’s florist business for 18 years, seven years setting up and breaking down events for a church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and a career in banking, he wanted to become a nurse to care for his aging parents. After announcing his career change, he learned his niece, Claire Polk of Collins was accepted into the Associate Degree Nursing school at Jones College.

“It’s been awesome and really good for both of us, having someone to rely on and really understand some of the struggles,” shared Polk. “Since he was older going back to school, the technology was new to him. Being able to help him out was really awesome.”

He caught on quickly, and his teachers recognized him with the Florence Nightingale Award for the full-time class.

“Going through this difficult challenge, especially as a non-traditional student, it meant a lot. Today means a lot to me. Claire and I both kind of went through this together, and that was special,” shared Rogers.

Waynesboro’s Erin Williams didn’t know what kind of obstacles she would have to overcome to graduate, until after she began the practical nursing program in Waynesboro. The 21-year-old began working as a Certified Nurse Assistant after high school with the goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. After Christmas, she will be enjoying her first child.

“I found out while I was in nursing school and it was a bit of a challenge,” said Williams. “Nursing school is a challenge itself, but I pushed through. I prayed, and my husband was my biggest supporter, and I got to do this all with my best friend, Nichole Spiars.”

For Spiars, nursing was something she wanted to do but got deterred. She was working at a restaurant full-time and taking some classes when she found out Williams was applying. That’s when she also decided to apply for the Practical Nursing program.

“Graduation is like a weight off my shoulders,” Spiars said. “Erin and I helped each other out the whole time. If I didn’t know something, Erin knew it and if she didn’t know something I knew it.”

Also relieved that one part of her nursing education is complete is Leakesville’s Sade Woullard. The 21-year-old has been working as a C.N.A. at the Greene Health and Rehab Center for the last three years. In five years or less, Woullard plans to become an R.N.

“Right now, I feel like I can breathe and there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, that you didn’t think you’d see!” said Woullard. “I want to thank my instructors for pushing me and telling me I have it, whenever I didn’t believe I had it.  I’m very grateful for this facility and the program.”

During the Pinning and Lamp Lighting Ceremony, the Practical Nursing instructors recognized the students they considered to be Rising Stars, the top Academic Achievers and the students who best represent the characteristics of the founder of nursing, Florence Nightingale. In the full-time class, BreAnna Stephens of Mize received the Academic Excellence Award for achieving the highest average and superior academic performance. Heidi Moore of Seminary earned the Academic Excellence Award in the Part-Time Night Class and Jessica Burford of Silas, Alabama was the Wayne County program recipient.

Da’Kyra Payton of Buckatunna from the full-time program, Chrishawn Wright of Laurel from the part-time night program and Justice Kittler of Waynesboro from the Wayne County program each earned the Rising Star Award. These three were considered to have shown continuous dedication and exceptional growth in the classroom and clinical setting. Their positive attitude and perseverance enriched their professionalism and nursing knowledge.

The Florence Nightingale Award went to John Rogers of Collings from the full-time program, Shevawn McLain of Heidelberg from the part-time night program and Chaseanna Carter of Waynesboro from the Wayne County program. These graduates encompass all the qualities of Florence Nightingale which she implemented into the nursing profession: compassion, dedication and kindness. These students embody the true spirit of nursing.

One of their instructors, Oshaugnessye McCormick, challenged the new nurses to continue to be like Florence and shine their light for all to see.

“Be innovative, critical thinkers, warm and compassionate and most of all, let your light shine,” said McCormick. “I can stand here and say, speaking on behalf of our entire faculty, we are proud of you as our students, but we’re also proud for you to be our colleagues.”

The ceremony concluded with the traditional Lamp Lighting Ceremony which is a representation of the enlightenment of your mind. The traditional “Lamp Lighting” was inspired by the founder of nursing, Florence Nightingale who carried a lamp to find and help wounded soldiers during the Crimean War in 1854.
