Endorsement of current member “It is with great pleasure that I write to you today to announce my
graduation Fri May 18 from the Stony Brook University School of Nursing, in Stony Brook, NY. I earned
my BSN through the accelerated 1-year program. Note that I proudly wore my AAMN cords along with
others I earned. The picture below pretty much captures the excitement and pride I have of finishing the
program and entering the profession of a lifetime. Glad that AAMN was a part of my experience, and
onward into my career. Sincerely, Hector Chavez”(AAMN, 2013)
