Support Shows What’s Possible

”Watching faculty is a rich source of learning that happens as students are in the early formation of their professional identity in nursing. We are walking the talk with our students to model the importance of leading self first in navigating real-world challenges — and demonstrating in our own ways the tremendous potential to affect positive change in the world as a nurse.”

Assistant Clinical Professor

“As a first-generation college student, I sometimes grapple with imposter syndrome, feeling inadequate and out of place, which is overwhelming at times. As I progressed through my externship, I grew more confident in my clinical abilities and learned the importance of mentorship — my preceptors were incredibly encouraging and patient, allowing me the time to grasp complex concepts and pushing me to seek help when I needed it.”
