“I suppose I didn't choose Western University but rather they chose me. I did not know much about it before I had applied but when I began the program and met the professors I knew I had made the right decision in attending Western University. I could have gone to Duke University but instead I chose Western due to the intimacy. As an undergraduate, I felt like a small fish in a big pond. Here at Western the pond is much smaller. I feel like I get more attention from professors and they care about my performance. It will make graduation day that much more sweet.”

“I chose to get my Masters of Science in Nursing at Western in the late fall when I attended the information session with other prospective students. As the CGN faculty and staff presented the MSN-E program to us, I was so impressed with the enthusiasm and passion they expressed. You could tell that the instructors love what they do, and I wanted to be one of their students. I left there so excited to begin my journey towards becoming a nurse. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Now I eagerly look forward to obtaining my degree, and I feel confident in the hospital setting because my instructors are knowledgeable and supportive.”

“The quality of education and the passion that the faculty brings to teaching is unparalleled. Through all my years in school, I have never seen such passion for teaching as I have seen with CGN faculty. I just consider myself lucky to be a part of it.”

“I like that Western provides entry into clinical soon after learning to provide a well-rounded experience. I feel well-equipped to provide safe, compassionate and effective care; even the hospitals that we have clinical in notice that. Additionally, I have the opportunity to move home after 16 months to work full time as an RN to gain experience and take classes through distance learning to pursue a Masters and Family Nurse Practitioner certificate.”
