School of Nursing Celebrates August 2024 ABSN and HABSN Graduates

The August 2024 graduates of our School of Nursing’s 15-month Accelerated 2nd Degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) and Hybrid Accelerated 2nd Degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing (HABSN) programs were celebrated during a pinning ceremony in LeClerc Theatre on August 16! Congratulations to all of these students as they prepare to join the nursing profession.

HABSN Graduate Spotlight: James Keaton

James Keaton has spent his entire adult life serving as a Hospital Corpsman in the United States Navy, first as an active-duty member and presently in the Navy Reserve. As he prepares to retire from that role next year, Keaton will soon begin his new career as a psychiatric nurse after graduating from NDMU’s Hybrid ABSN program.

Keaton was drawn to the nursing profession after working with his colleagues in the Navy on a mental health initiative supporting active duty sailors during the height of the pandemic in 2021.
