Since we're partnered with Saint Luke's, it definitely helps securing a clinical placement through them so you know you're going to be in good hands.

“I got to walk alongside other people who were pursuing the same degree, so as we worked towards our doctorate in education, we were able to collaborate and work together and be a part of the journey with other people who were also mission-focused and very driven in their pursuit of education in our world today.”

What I like about the on-campus immersion is that you can get through all of these skills and these objectives that you need to do to become a nurse practitioner, but it's streamlined and guided for success. It's very helpful.

“I don't care about the glory of it. I just want to help people in the best way that I can. There's a saying that, ‘They may not remember your name, but they remember how you made them feel.’”

You're going to face challenges along the way, but I believe that Rockhurst will definitely prepare me for those challenges.

Rockhurst is small and very focused, and everybody at Rockhurst wants all the students to succeed. I feel like my faculty members know who I am, even with this online program.

Hilda decided to become a nurse to find purpose in her life and give back to others. One of the reasons she chose Rockhurst University is the end-to-end support she received along her student nursing journey.

To become a Rockhurst nurse, they put a lot of values into what they believe in, and they instill those values and pass them on to you.
