At Point Loma Nazarene University, nursing is sacred work
San Diego, California

(The San Diego Union-Tribute, July 10) Melvin Lumagui was always interested in serving individuals and communities. Prior to becoming a nurse, he worked with immigrant and refugee populations in San Diego and much of what he did, through various programs and advocacy work, was “interventions to help with the well being of people.”

“I made the connection that the mental well-being of specific people groups was impacted by the well-being of the individual. I love how mental-health nursing is concerned about communities,” said Lumagui, whose first job as a nurse was for a nonprofit organization in South Bay.

After four years in the field, Lumagui joined Point Loma Nazarene University’s RN to MSN (Master’s of Science in Nursing) program. It was the perfect fit.
