"The nursing program gave me the confidence, knowledge, and hands-on experience to enter the workforce feeling prepared for success. I truly believe it set me apart and built the foundation for my career. Today, I am proud to work at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as a hematology/oncology nurse, where I have become chemotherapy certified and now serve as a charge nurse. I am grateful for the education that helped me reach these milestones so early in my career."
