Faith and Learning

Nursing is a ministry and being able to share the Gospel and the truth with our Nursing students has been an integral part of what drew me to CCU. The Nursing team is an amazing group of professional nurses. I have the privilege to work and pray alongside both the faculty and the students. I love to facilitate their learning to be global ambassadors and represent this great University.
