I chose UB SON for its reputation and the strength of the faculty. My colleagues who have completed the DNP through UB SON spoke highly of the education they received and it is clear that it has made them better clinicians, educators and leaders.
I have professional interests in interdisciplinary education, process improvement, and emergency medicine.
My professional goals include developing a leadership role as a nurse practitioner, as well as becoming full-time faculty for both undergraduate and graduate nursing students.
The scholarship will help accelerate the completion of my DNP so that I can continue to develop my skills as nursing faculty and educate the next generation of nurse practitioners and registered nurses.
