MARY DEDEEN OROLA

"Leaders set the tone for organizational culture through actions and decisions. When leaders prioritize honesty, accountability, and fairness, they foster trust and cohesion within the organization, ultimately contributing to its success."

My Greetings:

Nurses are not just part of the healthcare workforce—they are the backbone. Their role in delivering healthcare services is not only significant—it is indispensable. You are the force for immeasurable change.

FCUBSNAAI is dedicated to providing nursing students and graduates with unique opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and global connection. Your Executive Board (EB) is committed to motivating aspiring nurses, empowering them to pursue their dreams and ambitions, and encouraging them to embark on their paths towards nursing leadership and innovation.

FCUBSNAAI understands that real growth stems from meaningful connections. We strive to establish relationships between students and alumni, working to create a community where knowledge, experience, and inspiration circulate freely. As mentors, we aim to guide mentees toward a professional mindset where "to do what you love and love what you do" is not just a thing to say or tweet—it is a life choice.

FCUBSNAAI envisions a world where our graduates have a unique perspective on leadership, focusing on intentionality, impactfulness, and influence. We have alumni in every corner of the world, all of whom are part of our mission to cultivate transformational leaders in the science and art of nursing. These alums are breaking down the barriers that limit their potential, pushing our understanding of leadership to the very edges of our discipline. They redefine what it means to be a nurse leader in powerful and meaningful ways.

We invite you to join the FCUBSNAAI, where your wisdom, expertise, and commitment form the bedrock of a closer, more robust nursing community. With your collaboration, the FCUBSNAAI will further pave the way for our successors and guide them to become the best version of themselves. Your presence will be appreciated and celebrated as an excellent representation of our Alma Mater.

Come join our journey to foster a global connection among all our FCUBSNAAI alumni, and enable each other to grow, to lead, and to transform.
