The School of Nursing is an integral unit of Hampton University and shares its goals and

ideals of excellence in the teaching-living-learning process. Nursing education at Hampton

University began with the Hampton Training School for Nurses in 1891. At the turn of the

century, Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute and Dixie Hospital (now Sentara

CarePlex) partnered to offer premier nursing education and health care for Peninsula

residents. Since 1944, the nursing faculty at Hampton University has provided high-quality

professional nursing education at the bachelor of science degree level. This undergraduate

program has the distinction of being the oldest baccalaureate nursing program in the

Commonwealth. In 1976, Hampton University instituted a master of science degree program

in nursing, making Hampton the first historically black college and university (HBCU) to

offer a master’s degree in nursing. In 1999, the School of Nursing achieved another

distinction when Hampton University instituted a PhD nursing program, the first at a HBCU.

The Center for Minority Family Health serves as the research arm of the School of Nursing.

The School of Nursing is approved by the Virginia Board of Nursing and is fully accredited

by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and the Commission on

Collegiate Nursing Education.

School of Nursing HAMPTON UNIVERSITY

Each new graduate is eligible to receive the Hampton University School of Nursing pin, which symbolizes the transition from student to nurse.

The School of Nursing’s pin is a representation of the middle

of the Hampton University seal. The official seal was

accepted in 1875 and only the name has changed as Hampton

has evolved from the Hampton Normal and Agricultural

Institute to Hampton Institute to Hampton University.

The symbols on the seal and the pin are a plow and sheaths of

grain; books of knowledge surmounted by a globe of the

world; a Bible stand; and, an old-fashioned printing press.

The sunrise over Hampton Creek symbolizes the rise of

educational opportunities, and the boat on the water

symbolizes the principal medium of transportation to

Hampton during its early history.

On behalf of the Faculty, Staff and Administration, I want to extend

my most heartfelt “Congratulations” to you, your family and friends.

The pinning ceremony is a symbolic welcoming of newly graduated

nurses into the nursing profession. Today, we celebrate your hard

work and achievement in completing a demanding and rigorous

course of study. You should be proud, as should all who supported

and assisted you in your efforts.

Pinning is a day of celebration, and it also is a day of reflection on

what lies ahead. Whatever path you choose, I am confident you

have acquired the skills you need to be successful. Whether you

pursue a career in public service, private industry or academe, I

know you will make a difference.

It has been a privilege and a pleasure to host you while pursuing

your nursing degree. You have learned much, and the School of

Nursing has benefited in turn from your presence. I hope you will

recall your years here with a sense that they were both happy and

productive. As a member of the Hampton University School of Nursing distinguished alumni,

you will always be cherished at Hampton University.

I hope that you will proudly wear your pin, as it distinguishes you from other professionals.

The pin is a treasured symbol that conveys to others your association and everlasting bond with

Hampton University School of Nursing. Please know that this symbol of service involves many

professional rights and responsibilities. With the necessary tools, we send into the world the

next wave of public health researchers, educators, practitioners, advocates, and leaders. I am

proud of the ingenuity and hard work that went into each and every one of your degrees. I look

forward to hearing about how you will advance in the field in the years to come.

With the success of graduation, come more challenges and opportunities in life. Face them

both with the same zeal and determination, as you have always done. I salute all of you and

everyone that had anything to do with where are today. Congratulations on your Graduation

and best wishes for your future life. Looking forward to your continued success!

Sincerely,

Deborah E. Jones, PhD, RN, CNE

“Leaving a legacy of distinct growth in the School of Nursing”

It is with a heavy heart that we say FAREWELL to our Dean, Dr. Deborah E. Jones. Dr. Jones has nearly 20 years of teaching and leadership experience.

Since 2011, she has served in the capacity of Dean and Associate Professor for our beloved Hampton University School of Nursing (HUSON). Previously, Dr. Jones was an Assistant Professor at The Johns Hopkins University

School of Nursing, Assistant Professor at the University Of Maryland School Of Nursing, and Adjunct Professor at Howard Community College, Howard County, Maryland. In her role as Dean of HUSON she had leadership over-

sight for two campuses with responsibility for leadership, vision, coordina-tion and strategic, operational and financial direction for all School of Nurs-ing (SON) programs.

Known for her student‐centered leadership style, Dr. Jones is intuitive and strategic in her ap-

proach and has extensive experience working with accreditation and approval bodies. Steps taken to create a progressive student centered environment included her establishment of the monthly “Chat with the Dean” forum to engage students, assist with problem solving, and allow them the

opportunity to discuss concerns or make suggestions. She purposely created an environment con-ducive for learning by outfitting the School of Nursing with new classroom furniture, Smart Board Technology and new computers in the computer lab and the addition of two SimMan® 3G Ad-

vanced Patient High Fidelity Simulators for each campus. Dr. Jones was also strategic in adding a dedicated space for the College of Virginia Beach Campus (COVB) Nursing Clinical Skills lab specif-ically designed for nursing instruction. Along with the new Clinical Lab, she hired the very first

-Time Clinical Lab Instructor for the COVB. The purpose of the labs is to offer an environment

which is conducive to learning, resulting in both student and faculty success. She also led the de-velopment of the “Mentoring for Success Program” for senior nursing students and streamlined the process.

Dr. Jones constantly looked for ways to improve student outcomes and provided students with the latest and best resources available on the market to improve their success on the National Licensure Examination for Nurses (NCLEX-RN). At HUSON, Dr. Jones has instilled a culture of aca-

demic excellence and established a record of accomplishment in curriculum redesign while provid-ing an outstanding student and faculty experience.

By mentoring faculty and staff, she has expanded scholarly research while fostering collabora-tive relationships across the university and between nursing campuses. As Dean of the SON, she

help to facilitate strengthening of our research capabilities, resulting in the SON establishing its own research agenda to include a school specific research mission, vision and goals and identifica-tion of specific areas of research interest.

Under her leadership, the first Endowed Chair, The Lois Price Spratlen Endowed Chair in Com-munity and Mental Health Nursing, was established in the School of Nursing. Additionally, the SON received funding to establish two new Endowed Scholarships for nursing students. A true philan-

thropist at heart, she participated annually in the fundraising for the Hampton University’s Proton Therapy Center and the annual workplace charity campaign. To assist with “The Campaign for Hampton”, she developed the asset-building objectives and a plan for the SON where fundraising priorities are tied directly to the university’s strategic plan. To gain faculty buy-in, Dr. Jones led a

workshop for SON faculty centered on development of our Campaign Fundraising Strategy.

Dr. Jones successfully led the school through restoration of admissions to Nursing after a Two-Year Admissions Suspension by the Virginia Board of Nursing issuance of a Consent Order based

on low NCLEX-RN pass rates prior to her arrival. In 2014, the School of Nursing was restored to a

Full Approval status and the July 2011 Consent Order was removed after extensive reporting and

program compliance. Under her leadership, the Virginia Board of Nursing and the Commission on

Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) approved our comprehensive NCLEX-RN Success Plan which includes new criteria for admissions.

Dr. Jones has a knack for developing people and has worked tirelessly to provide deliberate

professional faculty development opportunities. She has also been strategic in leading and plan-ning of curriculum revisions, design, and delivery. Leading the development of the first edition of the HUSON Clinical Manual and accompanying Clinical Forms Booklet, clinical rotations are

planned with thought and intention; rotations provide a positive clinical experience that is safe for the patient, student nurses, and clinical faculty. Student resources developed under her leadership have been shared with participants at the National Strategy Alliance Leadership Institute: Building Environments for Student Success, Winston Salem State University (2013), participants at the

2015 Elevate Outcomes with HESI Conference and upon request of other universities, colleges, and individuals. Additionally, all newly created student resources are available for download at the SON website.

Dr. Jones holds a Doctor of Philosophy, Master, and Bachelor Degrees in Nursing from Univer-sity of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). She holds Certifications in Teaching & Learning in Web based Courses and Teaching in Nursing & Health Professions from Indiana University and The Uni-

versity of Maryland Schools of Nursing respectively. Additionally, she has earned Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) Status through the National League for Nursing. She is a member of Sigma Theta Tau’s Heritage Society, Virginia Henderson Fellows Program, and has pledged support for Nursing Research and Leadership.

She is dedicated to community involvement including Board of Directors service to Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital; Benedictine University School of Nursing, Lisle, IL, Advisory Board; Arnold P. Gold Foundation and American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Adviso-

ry Board; member of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, National Advisory Committee for the Future of Nursing Scholars Program in partnership with AACN, and she serves on the selection committee for AACN and the Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing’s Future - AACN Minority

Nurse Faculty Scholars Program.

We wish the very best for Dr. Jones! We know that she will do well in whatever she puts her hands to, and that which is in ideal alignment with her professional and personal goals. She leaves us with a desire that we become more reflective and be the best we can be. Please join us in ex-

tending our deepest gratitude and celebrating her time with us.
