“This is the best decision I've made, and the only time I ever get angry with myself is that I didn't do it sooner. It goes fast. I was in it for almost three years, and it feels like I just started. Just be patient with yourself, give yourself grace, stick with it, and don't be afraid to ask for help.”
“God put it on my heart that it was time to go back. I didn’t know where I was going or how I was going to do it, but I knew that I really loved UL ɫAV and that if I can go through all that school and make good grades, I deserve to finish off with something.”
“It was easy to navigate, and the instructors answered questions promptly. University staff would actually reach out throughout the semesters to see if I had questions and see how I was doing. It was nice to have the constant support.”
"There are not many things you get to do as big as this. Enjoy the experience, take it slow, and ask questions when they come up. UL ɫAV has a huge support system; that’s one of the reasons I decided to go back.”
“A lot of employers that we collaborate with come back semester after semester asking for more of our students. That’s how we know we’re doing something right.”
“I was still able to do my job, be a mom, be a wife, be a caregiver, and do all the other things because I had so much structure through the professors. They are wonderful. They made it doable."
“I'm glad I chose the informatics program at UL ɫAV because it had computer science, project management, cybersecurity and a lot of really interesting classes that I wouldn't have gotten through other programs.”
“Don’t give up. It can get overwhelming, but it’s not hard. Remain focused because at the end when you finish, you’re going to realize how much it was worth it.”
“It’s important that we have this Doctor of Nursing Practice program and continue to support nurses completing this program. This program is building a stronger nursing profession and a stronger healthcare industry across the country.”
