National Nurse Practitioner Week (NP Week) is celebrated annually in recognition of nurse practitioners (NPs) nationwide, building awareness of their vital role in patient care.
Meet a few of our USI nursing alumni who are making a difference in a nurse practitioner role.
Two key decisions shaped my career: earning certification in my nursing specialty and choosing the right institution for my education. These choices prepared me to thrive at the Mayo Clinic.
Because USI's program was online, I was able to get my degree while still working bedside in Lexington, Kentucky, and being a mom to two kids.
One of the greatest perks of being a nurse practitioner is that we are known for making our patients feel cared for. Patients never forget that.
