🎓✨ Happy National DNP Week — and Official DNP Degree Anniversary! ✨🎓
Today we proudly celebrate Dr. Jessica Montelongo Nira, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC — our very own Doctor of Nursing Practice and the visionary behind Lūmari Aesthetix & Wellness Co. 💉💫
October 25th marks the official endorsement of the DNP degree — a day that recognizes the highest level of clinical nursing education and the leadership, innovation, and advocacy it represents. The DNP empowers nurses to drive evidence-based change, elevate patient care, and bridge the gap between research and real-world practice.
👩🏻⚕️ Did you know?
• Nearly 86% of DNP-prepared nurses are women — proving that women continue to shape and lead the future of healthcare.
• Yet fewer than 6% of nurses in the U.S. identify as Hispanic or Latino — making Latina DNPs like Dr. Montelongo Nira part of an elite and inspiring minority paving the way for future generations. 💪🏽✨
Dr. Jess’s journey from LVN → ADN → BSN → DNP embodies what the DNP stands for — excellence, perseverance, and the power of higher education. Through her leadership, she continues to show that clinical mastery and compassionate care can coexist beautifully — elevating both the science and art of nursing.
At Lūmari, we honor all DNPs who dedicate their lives to advancing healthcare, breaking barriers, and inspiring others to keep learning, growing, and glowing. 🌿
Happy DNP Week to our very own Dr. Jessica Montelongo Nira, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC — a true example of what it means to lead with purpose and passion.
