Student Stories

A black and white photo of a dark haired woman wearing scrubs and a stethoscope with her arms crossed smiling at the camera.

“I love nursing. It has helped me be a better mother, a better wife, and a better person. I think I get as much out of caring for my patients as they do, and that feeling is tough to beat!”
