With an abundance of awards to her credit, one might find it difficult to pinpoint Lauren Lowe\u2019s greatest achievement.\u00a0But if you ask the 2015 graduate of SUNY Poly\u2019s Nurse Practitioner Graduate program, she\u2019ll give you a quick and simple answer \u2013 her family.<\/p>\n

Balancing life as a mother, wife, and full-time graduate student with a career takes a lot of juggling, dedication, and a lot of hard work. Fortunately, she\u2019s no stranger to all three. And the hybrid of in-person and online classes for the SUNY Poly NP program allowed her to balance family life, work and academics perfectly.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy passion for this profession is reinforced every day that I work.\u201d<\/p>\n

That work is as a Family Nurse Practitioner for primary Care Physicians in Williamsville, NY, but providing patients with proper care requires a large empirical knowledge base with leadership qualities such as compassion, advocacy, and emancipatory initiatives. As a nurse, Lowe knows she has to learn to adapt and respond to a variety of populations, needs, and environment \u2013 something she\u2019s well-prepared for thanks to her time at SUNY Poly.<\/p>\n

\u201cSUNY Poly\u2019s Family Nurse Practitioner Program helped me to build a very solid foundation of clinical skills, medical knowledge, and the theoretical grounding to begin my career,\u201d Lowe says. \u201cThe faculty consistently went above and beyond for students providing the education, support, and encouragement necessary to succeed in this program.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dedication to her passion for others certainly did not go unnoticed, with Lowe\u2019s excellence being rewarded with the SUNY Poly President\u2019s Award and Dean\u2019s Award, and the Outstanding Nurse Practitioner Student Award, to name just a few.\u00a0She also received national recognition when she was named an \u201cEmerging Leader\u201d by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing\u2019s Graduate Nursing Student Academy (GNSA).<\/p>\n

Lowe always made her personal education a priority, a philosophy that was reinforced while teaching at the undergraduate level as a clinical instructor. Lowe says she hopes to eventually continue on with her doctorate, opening up even more collegiate teaching opportunities. She knows that as she continues to offer patients high-quality, benevolent care, she is continuing to gain valuable experience that will help her instill the enthusiasm for learning that she possesses into each of her students.<\/p>\n

Nursing is a discipline whose focus is to heal, to care, to assist, and to promote health in the population. It\u2019s a field where relationships are vital, morals and ethics are tested, and an understanding of aesthetics is crucial.\u00a0And she can\u2019t see herself doing anything else.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is incredible and overwhelming to think of the limitless opportunities available to make a positive difference in the field of nursing,\u201d Lowe says. \u201cI have been fortunate to attend the Family Nurse Practitioner program at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, which truly embodies a philosophy of nursing that promotes a holistic approach to practice and lifelong learning. Nurses are leaders, educators, researchers, and innovators compassionately devoting their life to the well-being of others. I am so proud to be a nurse practitioner.\u201d<\/p>\n
