Emily’s USF highlights

• Getting hired. “In February of my final semester, I applied for 2 nursing positions and was offered both. It was a relief to graduate and know I had a job lined up.”
• Faculty. “The Nursing program is hard, but there’s a lot of support. The faculty are what make the program great. They are excellent – straightforward, honest and understanding. They push us to be the best we can be and are always willing to help in any way. I can’t say enough good about the faculty!”
• Scholarships. “USF has really good scholarships. My goal was to go to the best Nursing program and to not let money dictate my choice. USF gave me an academic scholarship and it really helped: it reduced my costs and allowed me to live on campus.”
• Values. “The University’s values are integrated into everything. We’re taught how to communicate with patients, how to be compassionate and kind. I’ve seen nurses from other programs who weren’t taught this and they are less empathic and understanding with patients. I appreciate how the Franciscan values influenced my practice as a nurse.”
