Congratulations to all of our amazing nursing graduates! It’s hard to believe it has already been a week since graduation. We are so proud of each of you and cannot wait to see the impact you will make in healthcare and in the lives of your future patients.

As one chapter closes, another begins, and we are so excited to welcome a new group of students to campus as they begin their jouRNey into the profession of nursing. The future of nursing is bright!

Happy Student Nurses Day to all of the future nurses working tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of others. Your dedication, compassion, long hours, and commitment to learning do not go unnoticed. Every challenge is shaping you into the kind of nurse patients will one day depend on. Keep pushing forward, believe in yourself, and remember that the future of healthcare is brighter because of you. We are so proud of each of you and all that you are accomplishing! 💙🩺

UA Little Rock: College of Business, Health, and Human Services; University of Arkansas at Little Rock; UA Little Rock Nursing are well represented! UA Little Rock School of Nursing is fortunate to have four new educators featured in the Arkansas Times 2026 Nurses Appreciation publication. Lauren Atoyebi Banks, Timbre A Jones, Kencia Toombs Stanley, and Katie Harp have brought fresh energy and enthusiasm to our school. Shelia Meabon Brooks is in our ad demonstrating what she does best- teaching students safety in clinical skills. UA Little Rock Alumni, Joanna Hall (and previous faculty member), and Mike Stramiello are taking the nursing profession in Arkansas by storm!! They both do so much for nursing and nurses. There are probably several others pictured that have had an impact on our program or are alumni.

Thank you to all our nursing faculty, staff, students, and to all the nurses out there who are making a difference in lives every day!

Nurses in Arkansas have some wonderful organizations advocating for us! Arkansas Nurses Association; Arkansas Center for Nursing, Inc.; Arkansas Nursing Students' Association

Dive into our extensive resources on the topic that interests you. It's like a masterclass to be explored at your own pace.

What a truly uplifting afternoon celebrating with the Arkansas Center for Nursing, Inc. at the Leadership and Legacy ceremony, which paid tribute to some of the most exceptional nurses in Arkansas. The event shone a spotlight on the remarkable contributions of legacy nurses, young leaders in nursing, and those who are emerging in the field. Special congratulations are extended to our own SarahBeth Phillips, one of the 40 outstanding nurses recognized for their inspiring leadership.
