Phillips School of Nursing graduates at Stern Auditorium at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Many people may not know the Phillips School of Nursing at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. They are an integral part of our health system, providing three excellent nursing programs for our community.
Last weekend the School held commencement where we celebrated 55 new graduates. One of those graduates is our very own, Selah Gaznabi, who is a pharmacy tech at Petrie. Congratulations, Selah!
Two other graduates are children of our very own MSBI family members. Alegria Morales, a nurse in ECT, celebrated her son, Kristoffer’s graduation, and Carol Rindler, a nurse on our IV team, celebrated her daughter, Samantha’s graduation. Both of these women have been at MSBI for over 30 years, and their passion for nursing has clearly rubbed off on their children.
Kristoffer Kyle Morales with his mom, Alegria Morales, RN at MSBI for over 30 years.
Samantha Rindler and her parents, Andrew Rindler, and Carol Rindler, RN at MSBI for over 30 years.
Samantha Rindler was also awarded the Rose M. Hauer Award of the Alumni Association for Outstanding Contributions to the School. Her peers voted for her to receive this award.
Last year, the School received a Nursing Workforce Diversity grant of approximately $800,000 from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to help increase access to nursing education for under-represented and disadvantaged students. This “Workforce Inclusion in Nursing” program will include a summer boot camp, mentoring, career development, and other supportive programs for selected students. We are so proud of their dedication to our community.
