For Re’Jahnique Matthews, nursing is more than a career—it’s a calling rooted in a deep commitment to equity, education, and community health. That calling, and Loyola Nursing's Jesuit values, made its Doctor of Nursing Practice program a perfect fit for her. “I had heard about Loyola from colleagues and friends who went there, and I really liked their values; social justice and ethics are so important to me,” she said. “My goal has always been to give back to my community through education and healthcare. The values aligned so perfectly.” Check out the full story on Matthews' transformative journey within Loyola Nursing's DNP program at https://bit.ly/41wLYfg
