I spent my early years in Pakistan where I saw the downfalls of a struggling healthcare system. This made the importance of nurses and other professionals very clear to me. Then, while living in Philadelphia, I worked at an urgent care center where I saw the nurse practitioners treat patients coming in with various types of medical problems. I asked the NPs about the pathway of becoming a nurse practitioner. After further consideration, I realized that nursing might be the better fit for me since I like to be more hands-on with the patient. Later down the line, I would like to pursue a career as a NP.

I was attracted to Penn College because of the small class and lab sizes. In this environment, I knew I would get more time with my professor when I needed help. I also liked the hands-on approach to learning. 

The same things that attracted me to Penn College are what I like most about the nursing program. That's the small class sizes and hands-on nature of the program. I also like how we have access to the nursing building after hours and get one-on-one guidance from the lab coordinators. 

I would tell them that Penn College is a small school where you are most likely to succeed due to smaller class sizes, professional relationships with the professors, and one-on-one guidance to help you pass your classes. We have a nursing lab where you can go any hour of the day to practice your skills just with the swipe of your student ID.
