A Message from the Dean
Congratulations on your academic achievement!
On behalf of the faculty, staff and administration, I extend my
most heartfelt “Congratulations” to you, your family and friends.
The pinning ceremony is a symbolic welcoming of newly
graduated nurses into the nursing profession.
Today, we
celebrate your hard work and achievement in completing a
demanding and rigorous course of study. You should be proud, as
should all who supported and assisted you in your efforts.
Pinning is a day of celebration, and it is also a day of reflection on
what lies ahead. Whatever path you choose, I am confident you
have acquired the skills you need to be successful. Whether you
pursue a career in public service, private industry or academe, I
know you will make a difference.
It has been a privilege and a pleasure to host you while pursuing your nursing degree. You have
learned much, and the School of Nursing has benefited in turn from your presence. I hope you will
recall your years here with a sense that they were both happy and productive. As a member of the
Hampton University School of Nursing distinguished alumni, you will always be cherished at
Hampton University.
I hope that you will proudly wear your pin, as it distinguishes you from other professionals. The
pin is a treasured symbol that conveys to others your association and everlasting bond with
Hampton University School of Nursing. Please know that this symbol of service involves many
professional rights and responsibilities. With the necessary tools, we send into the world the next
wave of public health researchers, educators, practitioners, advocates, and leaders. I am proud of
the ingenuity and hard work that went into each and every one of your degrees. I look forward to
hearing about how you will advance in the field in the years to come.
With the success of graduation, come more challenges and opportunities in life. Face them both
with the same zeal and determination, as you have always done. I salute all of you and everyone
that had anything to do with where you are today. Please remember this one thing; Nurses make
a difference, by choosing to care.
God Bless,

HAMPTON UNIVERSITY
School of Nursing
The School of Nursing is an integral unit of Hampton University and shares its goals and
ideals of excellence in the teaching-living-learning process. Nursing education at Hampton
University began with the Hampton Training School for Nurses in 1891. At the turn of the
century, Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute and Dixie Hospital (now Sentara
CarePlex) partnered to offer premier nursing education and health care for Peninsula
residents. Since 1944, the nursing faculty at Hampton University has provided high-quality
professional nursing education at the bachelor of science degree level. This undergraduate
program has the distinction of being the oldest baccalaureate nursing program in the
Commonwealth. In 1976, Hampton University instituted a master of science degree program
in nursing, making Hampton the first historically black college and university (HBCU) to
offer a master’s degree in nursing. In 1999, the School of Nursing achieved another
distinction when Hampton University instituted a PhD nursing program, the first at a HBCU.
The Center for Minority Family Health serves as the research arm of the School of Nursing.
The School of Nursing is approved by the Virginia Board of Nursing and is fully accredited
by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education.
Class of 2014
NURSING PIN
The School of Nursing’s pin is a representation of the middle
of the Hampton University seal. The official seal was
accepted in 1875 and only the name has changed as Hampton
has evolved from the Hampton Normal and Agricultural
Institute to Hampton Institute to Hampton University.
The symbols on the seal and the pin are a plow and sheaths of
grain; books of knowledge surmounted by a globe of the
world; a Bible stand; and, an old-fashioned printing press.
The sunrise over Hampton Creek symbolizes the rise of
educational opportunities, and the boat on the water
symbolizes the principal medium of transportation to
Hampton during its early history.
Each new graduate is eligible to receive the
Hampton University School of Nursing pin,
which symbolizes the transition from student to nurse.

Dedication
Lois Price Spratlen, MN, PhD, RN, CNS, FAAN
December 31, 1931- March 30, 2013
Dr. Lois Price Spratlen was a 1954 graduate of
Hampton Institute with a bachelor’s degree in nursing.
She went on to complete her MN at UCLA in 1972
and received her PhD in urban social planning from
the University of Washington (UW) in 1976. She had
a 55-year career in nursing because she
started the year before becoming an RN by working
part-time in public health at King’s Daughter’s
Hospital in Norfolk, VA. She insisted through her
retirement in 2008, that she never left nursing because
she approached her work using the nursing process,
even when serving for many years as an ombudsman.
Her professional achievements are truly outstanding. Some examples include:
initiation into Sigma Theta Tau (Nursing Honorary Society) in 1972; certification
as an adult psychiatric mental health nurse with prescriptive authority (1985);
becoming the first nurse and woman to serve as UW Ombudsman and Ombudsman
for Sexual Harassment (1988); advancing through faculty ranks to Full Professor of
Nursing at the UW in 1992; publishing extensively and serving as a journal
co-editor in ombudsing as well as a member of an editorial board in psychosocial
nursing; being named a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN) in
1999; induction into the Washington State Nurses Hall of Fame (2006); and
receiving several lifetime achievement awards from nursing and community
organizations.
She was generous in her contributions to Mary Mahoney Professional Nurses
Organization in Seattle, WA as well as to other nursing organizations. We are most
appreciative of her generosity to her alma mater in creating the Lois Price Spratlen
Endowed Chair in Community and Mental Health Nursing.
Hampton University honors the late Dr. Lois Price Spratlen as a distinguished
alumna on this occasion of the 60th Anniversary of her graduation. The School of
Nursing proudly inducts her into its Hall of Fame.

Now that this particular journey has
come to an end, I could not for a
second think of letting it end without
thanking those who helped me to
begin. There are no amount of words,
beautiful poetry, or cards that would
allow me to fully and abundantly express my
gratitude or my thanks to my family and friends. I Thank you
all for allowing me the once in a lifetime opportunity to pursue
my dreams. You put your lives on hold so that I could further
mine all for personal gain and to have the opportunity to
effectively provide for Elisha. I thank God for blessing me with
you all with loving hearts and kind actions, for your never
ending love, lessons and encouragement. I will never be able to
physically nor mentally THANK YOU but for the rest of my life
and the many more journeys to come, I will forever be indebted
to you all and will find joy in always pushing myself and Elisha
to show our appreciation.
We LOVE YOU,
Winter & Elisha

Mary Anderson-Williams is a loving daughter, mother, wife, and student. She is a
dedicated student who has put her family, friends, and classmates in her basket
and continued to press
forward. Despite the daily challenges of being a
military wife, mother, and
dealing with sick kids,
early morning and late
nights. Mary has kept
her eye on the prize.
She is a very uplifting
friend to all who has
studied, confided, and
fellowshipped with my
awesome lady. While I
did back to back deployments Mary took the
helm and steadied her
course.
She is the
brightest star that twinkles in the night sky and
leads us through the
seas. Mary is our compass. As a mother of
four and a wife to a sailor
Mrs. Williams doesn’t allow any of the tasks at
hand to slow or hinder
her forward progress.
We encouraged her to set her goals high and to shoot for the moon and beyond.
Mary is a very self driven and determined young lady who will sacrifice herself in
order for others to be healed and healthy. Congratulations on this glorious day.
We love you and may all of your dreams and desires continue to come true! We
are beyond proud of you.
~ Your Family

Prayers for Nurses
Nurse's Prayer
As I care for my patients today
Be there with me, Oh Lord, I pray.
Make my words kind—it means so much.
And in my hands place Your healing touch.
Let Your love shine through all that I do.
So those in need may hear and feel You.
Amen.
Lord, Help Me
Lord, please help me bring . . .
Comfort where there is pain,
Courage where there is fear,
Hope where there is despair,
Acceptance when the End is near, and
A touch that is gentle with
tenderness, patience and love.
Amen.
