Finding the Way of the Warrior

ESU's nursing program gave me the opportunity to develop skills, knowledge, and the confidence to work at one of the most prestigious children's hospitals in the country. I built relationships with faculty and my peers that are so helpful and have enabled me to be in my dream job and to develop as a registered nurse.
