"Nursing school is probably one of the harder programs, so it required a lot of my attention and there were a lot of nights that I was in the library studying. The professors were great. I feel like I had a really good support team, and they were super-encouraging. I was like, ‘I can do this. I can be a nurse. I can do a good job."

“I’ve been here for six years and the experiential learning opportunities for our students just keep building. I’ve seen our students go all over – locally here in Terre Haute, to Indy, to around the country…. And when our students give their time to these experiences, we as faculty give our time, too.”
