“The Nursing Department provided a challenging environment both in the classroom and in clinicals, which made the transition from student nurse to RN that much easier for me. Mentoring and working with other nursing students made me a better student and a better nurse.”

“I know that my ability to stand in front of a crowd and speak, my ability to run a meeting or plan a course of action, and my ability to think critically is directly related to my education at Western. Faculty and staff encouraged me to get involved, and those experiences were a vital part of my education. The advice I received as a student remains with me today.”
