My name is Dr. Gregorio L. De Grano. I am the dean of graduate nursing program at the American University of Health Sciences. I’m very happy and very proud today cuz our students are graduating with distinction and high honors. So I’m very very happy for all our students and I’m very proud. I present the Master of Science and Nursing candidates for graduation this winter of 2025.

We just launched the Doctor of Nursing Practice. So, it is uh focused on population health management and uh health systems leadership. That’s the newest program that we have. So, we’re very happy that we have now two cohorts uh that we have with the doctor of nursing practice and we’re looking forward for this fall because I know there will be students who will be coming in for our third cohort.

I would like to uh congratulate all the graduating students right now. I would like to say that you have chosen a great career. You know that nursing opens road for different path. You’re not just a bedside nurse. You can be a leader, a manager, an educator, and there’s a great possibilities for becoming a nurse.
