Acknowledgements

I want to express my appreciation to my project chair, Dr. Steven Armstrong, for his guidance as I move through my project, as well as to Dr. Julie Penick for her thoughtful feedback on the project's design. I would also like to thank Dr. Nancy Delmont and Dr. Alexis Koenig, in particular, for their encouragement, recognition, and for helping me see the true value of my work. You are both shining examples of how nurse educators can shape the future of healthcare.

I am deeply grateful to my family for their support throughout my educational journey. From your reassurance to your patience with my long hours of work, you've shown me what family truly means. Your faith in my ability to succeed kept me motivated and focused, reminding me why I embarked on this journey in the first place. I couldn't have done this without your love, understanding, and constant presence. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Finally, I would like to thank the exceptional team at HLN Consulting, LLC for making Immunization Calculation Engine available, thier interest in the project, and support during its implementation.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
