"Throughout the MEPN program, I have continuously been inspired to be a nurse and leader who values compassionate, culturally competent care. The program's commitment to evidence-based practice, patient advocacy, and advancing health equity shines. Although it is a challenging 15-month program, it has been one of the most rewarding." 

"The University of Arizona’s Nurse Anesthesia Program has inspired me to approach challenges with humility, curiosity, and purpose.

"Defending my PhD was energizing, surreal, and deeply meaningful. The College of Nursing became a true community where mentorship, support, and purpose carried me through doubt and growth.
