CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY- Laura Williams, a senior of Campbellsville, KY spoke on behalf of Campbellsville University's School of Nursing pinning ceremony, May 3, 2012, in a pinning ceremony recognizing the School of Nursing graduates, telling them, "Let's not forget where we came from or why we decided to become a nurse,"

Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, also addressed the gathering, saying, "You are now part of history that some said would never happen," "This is a proud moment."



The School of Nursing began as an idea in 2001, but many said Campbellsville University would never have the program, President Michael V. Carter said.

But in 2006, the first nursing class enrolled, and in 2008 the first class graduated from Campbellsville University's School of Nursing.

Dr. Frank Cheatham, vice president for academic affairs who also serves on the board at Taylor Regional Hospital, said that he gets comments on Campbellsville's nursing graduates because they know how to communicate and have empathy
