Words of Wisdom
My Fellow Collaborators, We are in such an exciting time in Nightingale’s journey, and as many of you know, I have committed to a new role as chief growth officer. This offers a unique opportunity to view the organization through a slightly new lens. Growth has a significant role in our collective impact, and though my previous roles have been fortunate to observe growth from the perspective of the College, now I am envisioning new possibilities for Nightingale Education Group. This new perspec- tive will add to our wonderful accomplishments of providing access to nursing education while reimagining a new standard for providing relevantly skilled, readily available nurses — representative of the communities we serve — to our strategic healthcare partners. To fully realize these new growth opportunities as a member of the Executive Council, I intend to safeguard the wonderful culture and differentiating practices that make
us Nightingale. In every part of my tenure with the organization, I have seen the benefit — both personally and in my fellow collaborators — of focusing on better humanity and better health. I have lived a fuller life because of the collaboration, innovation, and Evolvitude-ness that we have chosen to walk together. There is real joy in connecting on a human level, and to me this is truly what makes Nightingale Education Group so special. Every one of us plays a role in our organization’s success, and I firmly believe that if we stay committed to our impact statement and the Core 7 framework, we will continue to foster connections, contribute to a better world, and positively influence others. The im - pact we will have in education, employment, and health will come to fruition as we continue to align ourselves. Because of this, it is so rewarding to see the influence of our culture and how it affects us
daily. Our culture shapes our functions, each other, and the com- munities we serve, playing a vital role in our collective journey. Nightingale Education Group is creating a ripple effect in the world through its inspirational goals. I know that each collaborator is dedi- cated to making a positive difference and having the ability to surround themselves with this network of incredible individuals is irreplaceable. One of my long- term goals at Nightingale is to main- tain the connections I've built with those I’ve worked alongside over the years. We share a bond that is forged through our achievements, and I am devoted to preserving those special relationships, as that’s the essence of building community. Moving forward, I am excited for all that we will achieve together in the coming years, as I know it will be beautiful and extraordinary. Your dear friend, Jonathan Tanner “JT”
