This past semester, all five cousins were enrolled at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/nursing\/\">UCF\u2019s College of Nursing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had twins, pairs of siblings, and second-generation UCF nursing students in the past, but to have five family members enrolled all at the same time is quite unique,\u201d says Jessica Simmons, assistant dean of students. \u201cNurses inspire nurses, and Knight nurses inspire Knight nurses. No doubt they were all inspired to care for our communities by Dr. Monize.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A Family that Studies Together<\/h2>\n<p>The second generation of UCF nursing students are among the youngest in their cohort as all five earned their associate\u2019s degree while in high school through dual enrollment.<\/p>\n<p>Graduating next spring with a bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing (BSN) will be Monize\u2019s daughters, Linah and Sulah who are enrolled at UCF Orlando, and their cousin Samuel Frederick who is at UCF Cocoa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephen Frederick \u201924<\/strong>, Samuel\u2019s brother, graduated last week with a bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing, and older brother <a href=\"https:\/\/nursing.ucf.edu\/news\/nursing-faculty-and-student-honored-with-founders-day-awards\/#david-frederick\"><strong>David Frederick \u201920<\/strong><\/a> will graduate with his second UCF nursing degree this upcoming August.

The families not only have a close bond, but also grew up close by \u2014 just five minutes apart in St. Cloud, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>That proximity makes it easy to share experiences in-person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, I would say the best thing about going to nursing school with family is that we all have a built-in study buddy,\u201d Linah says. \u201cWe hang out often and we all have a firsthand understanding of each other\u2019s situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UCF was an obvious choice for all of the students, but not just to follow in family footsteps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUCF was always touted as <em>the<\/em> school to attend; the nursing program in particular was impressive in its achievements and national rankings,\u201d Linah says. \u201cI also knew from the experiences of David and my mom that UCF\u2019s College of Nursing was truly innovative in their education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never thought about going anywhere else,\u201d adds her sister Sulah.<\/p>\n<p>For David, seeing his brothers and cousins in the BSN program at UCF is a full-circle moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love talking to them about their classes and clinicals while reminiscing about my time in the program,\u201d he says. \u201cThe ultimate gratification I have is when we talk shop and I can tell the lightbulb is lit for them.

During a period of their childhood, their mother was hospitalized a lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout that vulnerable time for our family, one constant variable that got us through was the compassion of her nurses,\u201d says David, who currently works in the neuroscience intensive care unit at Orlando Health. \u201cThe care, time and consideration those nurses bestowed to my mother and our family always stuck with me. I carry those memories with me now in my practice and as a nurse practitioner student.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After he graduates this summer and passes the nurse practitioner board certification exam, David plans to remain in the Central Florida community and provide primary care to residents of all ages. He\u2019s not the only one who plans to stay local.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen, who just graduated, has just accepted a job as a registered nurse in the operating room at Orlando Regional Medical Center where he worked as a student nurse intern while at UCF. In the future, he plans to return to school to become a surgeon.<\/p>\n<p>Their brother Samuel plans to stay in St. Cloud, initially working in critical care nursing before furthering his education to become a nurse practitioner or nurse anesthetist.<\/p>\n<p>Sulah and Linah also have career goals to become nurse practitioners. Sulah plans to initially work in a pediatric intensive care unit as a nurse before advancing her education to become an acute care nurse practitioner. She plans to stay in state for graduate school and after completing her education, she may explore options abroad with her sister.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think having a degree from a university as recognizable as UCF will allow me to go far, and equip me with enough knowledge to thrive in any environment,\u201d says Linah, who also plans to work as a nurse in a pediatric intensive care unit before returning to school to become a pediatric nurse practitioner.<\/p>\n<p>The family of nurses has made, and will continue to make, a significant impact on the health of communities around the world and in the local region. They\u2019re not alone. Of the more than 16,000 UCF Knight nurse alumni, 85% live and work Florida and nearly 60% remain in the Central Florida region.<\/p>\n<p>Mildride, who currently works as at the Orlando Veteran\u2019s Affairs Medical Center as a nocturnal medical on-duty nurse practitioner hospitalist and works part time at a local dermatology clinic, is among these Knight nurses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy aunt, Dr. Mildride Monize, is not only a true inspiration in our career path but also a great example of what a good work ethic can help you accomplish,\u201d Stephen says.<\/p>\n<p>Mildride\u2019s work ethic was inspired by her own mother, who worked in a pediatric step-down unit, connecting with families and providing support to children and teens. In addition, Mildride\u2019s mother opened up a home healthcare agency where she was able to educate fellow immigrants on healthcare careers to allow them to achieve stability in their new life journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe encouraged me to become a nurse, and after many years, I decided that nursing was a better career,\u201d says Mildride, who returned to UCF after earning a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/health-sciences-bs\/\">bachelor\u2019s degree in health sciences<\/a> to earn a bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing. She was in the first cohort of students in the <a href=\"https:\/\/nursing.ucf.edu\/academics\/bachelors-degrees\/second-degree-bsn\/\">accelerated second degree bachelor\u2019s in nursing<\/a> program.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to make an impact and the unlimited opportunities a nursing career provides is what she hopes will continue to inspire the next generation as they embark on their journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNursing is not an easy sit-down profession. However, it will provide many opportunities to make a difference in a patient&#8217;s life. The power of demonstrating simple sincerity to&nbsp;patients and people can&nbsp;make a&nbsp;big positive&nbsp;impact,\u201d Mildride says. \u201cAdditionally, the profession is fluid and dynamic. It will take them as far as their heart desires.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of Mother\u2019s Day and Nurse\u2019s Week, meet the second generation of UCF
