The nursing program at Western Kentucky University has shaped me into becoming the nurse I have always dreamed of being. Each member involved in this program, whether that be the staff or your classmates, truly wants what is best for you and motivates you for success. I strongly encourage anyone who has even the slightest bit of interest in healthcare, to see what this program is about, and find out how you can influence the ever-changing profession. It is no doubt that nursing can be a challenging job, but the preparation that this program provides allows you to gain the experience to be the best nurse possible.
