“I like the nursing program because it’s very hands-on from such an early start. You start going to clinicals your second semester sophomore year. You immediately get to start going into the hospital and find out if you’re actually going to like being a nurse.”

“The nursing program is definitely a close-knit group of people. We study together, we go to clinical together, we carpool to the bus stop, and we eat lunch together. By the time you graduate, it’s like having your siblings graduate with you because you spend so much time together.”

“Your coursework is a great foundation, but it’s also what the professors bring to it. It’s, ‘Hey, let’s use a lot of real-world scenarios to learn,’ and that was extremely beneficial.”

“I honestly never thought that I would enjoy college this much and be as active as I have been. It is not easy, and we definitely struggle through some classes but, thanks to our professors, we know that it will all be worth it in the end.”

“I was interested in health information management since I knew I wanted to work in the healthcare setting, but clinical care wasn’t for me. I love learning how to handle patient data and working with files and EHRs (electronic health records). I feel like I am actually going to make a difference in the business side of the medical field.”

“My favorite part about nursing would have to be the clinical portion. Learning the duties and responsibilities of a nurse is great, but actually performing those activities is completely different. You began to feel as though you’re actually a nurse.”
