“As they step into their roles, I would remind them they are not merely fulfilling a job description; they are embracing a calling to serve and heal.
“Their passion, empathy, and commitment will make a difference in the lives of those they care for.”
Ms Heise said it was an exciting time for the graduates.
“Embrace the challenges, celebrate the victories, and never underestimate the power of your presence and kindness,” Ms Heise said.
