In Our Own Words

The numerous organizations, the interprofessional collaboration between all health care students and the knowledgeable and experienced professors have given me the opportunity to grow to be the best nurse I can be.

Blake Ohm

Traditional BSN Student

I chose to pursue my MSN at TTUHSC because of the flexibility of the online program. The School of Nursing has a passionate and dedicated group of faculty who both challenge and support their students.

Mika K. Polly, MSN, R.N., FNP-C

 

When I graduated from TTUHSC School of Nursing I felt well prepared to take my nursing boards and assume the R.N. role. The clinical experience that I received as well as the teacher’s input helped make me the nurse I am today.
