Jasmine Solorzano, BSN-IH
“The focus on integrative health particularly impressed me. It encompasses not only traditional pharmaceutical solutions but also non-pharmacological, holistic methods. This approach goes beyond merely treating illness; it promotes long-term wellness for the mind, body, and spirit.”

Melanie Begaye, MEPN
“I was drawn to the College of Nursing through the U of A Cancer Center Native American Cancer Prevention (NACP) undergraduate research program. I realized that becoming a nurse would help me achieve my goal of returning to the Navajo Nation and promoting wellness and traditional healing.”

Brittney Marcano, DNP
“This degree equips nurses to critically assess research and implement evidence-based practices in patient care, opening doors to leadership and teaching roles. The supportive faculty genuinely believes in your potential and is dedicated to ensuring student success.”
