We are taught to reach. We commemorate our colleagues who lost their lives in this process with mercy. Life has actually taught humanity 'Less is more' with the epidemic. Let's continue to trust ourselves with these teachings. Our biggest capital is to trust ourselves with our deep knowledge and equipment. Our most untouched feeling, the foundation of which is laid in the family, is the feeling of trust. The fact that we bid you farewell to your graduation face-to-face today is an indication that Ege University is a strong family.”
“It is good that we are from Aegean, we are fortunate that we are nurses”
Duygu Tunç, who finished the term with the first place; “We would like to thank our esteemed teachers, who developed, trained, changed us as nurses, and set a role model for us in their own fields. If we are graduating as a nurse today, the architect of this is our valuable teachers. Ege University Faculty of Nursing was my first choice in my university choice. I realize once again how right the decision I made today was. This 5-year educational adventure was challenging, intense, and on top of that, the pandemic process affected our education. However, we can safely say that; It is good that we are from Aegean, we are fortunate that we are nurses”.
