Caring for people who are sick and afraid requires more than the ability to give an injection or set up an IV. You鈥檒l see this as you work in hospitals, Alzheimer鈥檚 units, psychiatric centers, health departments, physician鈥檚 offices and other health care settings with a team of professors who have more than 100 years of combined clinical experience. It鈥檚 a deep compassion and a Christian commitment to loving people that make our professors 鈥 and our graduates 鈥 stand out from the crowd.

STORIES FROM THE SCHOOL OF NURSING
MEET DR. WITHERSPOON

鈥淣urses serve individuals when they are in their most vulnerable states. As a nurse, a touch, smile, greeting or conversation may be the only kindness a patient receives. Education is the foundation that prepares nurses for a higher purpose. The educational foundation begins with the undergraduate programs, and mastery starts with the doctoral degree. Learning is life-long!鈥
