For Women’s History Month, we’re recognizing Faye Glenn Abdellah, a nursing leader and theorist whose work transformed patient-centered care and modern nursing practice.

A pioneer in nursing research and education, Abdellah developed the 21 Nursing Problems theory, which shifted focus from tasks to the holistic needs of patients. Her work emphasized viewing patients as individuals with physical, emotional, and social needs, an approach that continues to shape how nurses deliver care today.

Beyond theory, Abdellah broke barriers as one of the first women to hold high-ranking leadership roles in the U.S. Public Health Service, advocating for evidence-based practice and advancing the professional status of nursing.

Her legacy lives on through the emphasis on critical thinking, compassion, and patient-centered care that remains foundational in nursing education today.

Alumni Highlight: Mara Welsh, RN 💙🩺

Mara Welsh always knew she wanted to become a nurse. That passion started early and only grew stronger during her time working as a CNA, where she found purpose in caring for others and building meaningful connections.

During her time at Joyce, Mara discovered a path that truly resonated with her: pediatrics.

"While in nursing school, I discovered my love for pediatrics. I was drawn to the resilience, strength, and joy of children, even in the face of illness or injury. Today, I am blessed to work at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City on the Neuro Trauma unit, where I care for some of the bravest patients I’ve ever met. I absolutely love working with kids and find it deeply rewarding to play a role in their healing and recovery."

Mara’s story is a reminder of how passion can evolve into purpose and the difference nurses make in the lives of their patients every day.

For Women’s History Month, we’re recognizing Mary Seacole, a nurse and healer whose determination and compassion reshaped caregiving during the Crimean War.

Born in Jamaica, Seacole combined traditional healing knowledge with hands-on medical experience, ultimately traveling independently to the warfront after being denied official nursing roles. Near the front lines, she established the British Hotel, where she provided medical care, nourishment, and comfort to soldiers who might otherwise have gone without support.

Her work emphasized compassionate, patient-centered care and highlighted the importance of adaptability and innovation in nursing. Mary Seacole’s legacy continues to influence conversations around equity, service, and leadership in healthcare. These values remain central to nursing education today.

✨ Alumni Highlight: Kori Richards, MSN, FNP-C, APRN ✨

Through Joyce’s online MSN program, Kori built the confidence and motivation to continue advancing her education and pursue a Nurse Practitioner Certificate.

She shared: "The MSN courses helped me build a strong foundation in nursing professionalism and an understanding of how the discipline expands beyond the patient bedside. Going back to school and advancing my nursing education was not easy, but it was doable. Joyce supported me with kind and intelligent professors and helpful staff throughout the MNS program. From registration to graduation, they were there for me."

With over 25 years of patient care experience across multiple specialties, Kori has now stepped into a role as a provider in pain management, where she’s excited to continue making a meaningful impact through compassionate, hands-on care.

We’re proud to have been part of Kori’s journey, and we can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next.

For Women’s History Month, we’re recognizing historic women in nursing, such as Clara Barton, whose contributions transformed humanitarian and nursing care.

During the Civil War, Barton provided frontline care to wounded soldiers, often delivering medical supplies and treatment directly on the battlefield when few systems existed to support them. Her firsthand experience revealed the urgent need for organized emergency response and long-term humanitarian care.

In 1881, she went on to found the American Red Cross, establishing standards for disaster relief, emergency preparedness, and nursing leadership that continue to shape healthcare today.

Clara Barton’s legacy reminds us that nursing extends beyond clinical skill to include excellence, service, and a commitment to lifelong learning. These principles continue to guide us at Joyce University.
