The featured speaker at last December's Honors Laude Dinner was Casey Cassidy, who graduated from East Central University with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing with Scholastic Honors in 2008, Since graduating, Casey has specialized in Medical-Surgical Nursing while practicing at Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City, OK. She has worked in nursing education for the last 4 years and obtained her Masters of Science in Nursing Education from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2012. She currently works as an assistant professor at Southern Nazarene University and is in the process of starting a PhD in Nursing. She has spoken at various nursing conferences and in 2014 she was recognized as one of the "Great 100 Nurses of Oklahoma.".
Casey recommended a book to us: Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End. Tonight, it received more votes than any other book on the ballot for the 2015 Honors SummerRead.
At the end of June, we expect to unveil the SummerRead questions. While you're waiting for those to come out, you may want to click here to read the New York Times review of this highly recommended book. Or here to read a review in the New York Times's Sunday Book Review.
I think this was a great choice for our summer read!
