Dear
Student:
With
each new beginning are fresh hopes gently woven into
dreams of tomorrow. It is our wish to welcome you to
Saint Anthony
College of Nursing and to be of assistance to you as
you seek to fulfill your personal goals and aspirations.
May
this year be warmed with friendships and success in academic
and professional achievements.
Nursing,
as a caring profession for others, requires that the nurse
continue to develop in all aspects as a person. To assist
you during your years at our College, this college catalog/student
handbook has been formulated as a reference for your use.
Please question any policy or guideline that may be unclear
to you. Each student is responsible for understanding and
adhering to its contents. The faculty reviews this document
regularly, reflecting on student input. It is revised as necessary.
A contractual statement verifying that the catalog/handbook
has been read is signed by each incoming student.
As you
begin this year, we ask the Lord's Blessings upon you
in all that you are and do. In the words of St. Francis,
we
pray:
May
the Lord Bless You
and Keep You
May He Show His Face to You
And Have Mercy on You
May He Turn His Countenance
To You
And Give You Peace.
Sincerely
yours in Christ,
Terese A. Burch, Ph.D., R.N.
Dean/Chief Administrative and Academic Officer
Prayer
of Saint Francis
Lord,
make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred ... let me sow love.
Where there is injury ... pardon.
Where there is doubt ... faith.
Where there is despair ... hope.
Where there is darkness ... light.
Where there is sadness ... joy
O Divine
Master, grant that I may
not so much seek
To be consoled ... as to console,
To be understood ... as to understand,
To be loved ... as to love,
for
It
is in giving ... that we receive,
It is in pardoning ... that we are pardoned,
It is in dying ... that we are born to
eternal life. |
