How did your education and your experience at the School of Nursing or University change you?
"The support I got from my professors made me confident that not only could I finish nursing school but that I would be a great nurse. I’ll forever be grateful to Dr. Steffan for helping me make the decision to be an oncology nurse! Looking back, I really appreciate the clinicals that we had. They exposed us to different cultures and populations. It really let us see different sides of nursing and eventually helped you decide what you wanted to do."
