"IU provided me with an amazing nursing education and experience. Nursing is not the easiest academic 程序 to excel in, but with the help of so many of my amazing teachers, I can say I have grown into the nurse I had always dreamed of being because of their support and guidance. IU’s small class sizes allow the professors to get to know every one of us as a whole person."
