Tonight, we were humbled to provide the Nightingale Tribute to ETSU Nursing Student, Grace Olivia White. Grace's bright spirit was matched by her remarkable intelligence. She was an accomplished member of the Beta Club and earned a prestigious place in the National Honor Society during high school. Her academic excellence continued throughout college, where she consistently secured her place on the Dean's List.
Her profound heart for service to others shone brightly from a very young age. She possessed a deep desire to help people, aspiring specifically to care for children as a pediatric nurse. She spent years volunteering at local hospitals before channeling that same passion into her studies, beautifully completing three impactful years of Nursing School. Grace chose this path of compassion, learning, and service. Though her journey was shortened, the heart of a nurse was already fully hers. Grace, we thank you for your devotion to our profession.
Participating in this special tribute was Alisa Hearl, Gail Broyles, Debra Miller, Naomi Mclaney, Angie Harless, Andrea Osborne, Tammy Gilreath, and Amy Hopson.
