"At M State, the instructors want to see you succeed – you know the teachers care. That makes the program so completely different than anything else I’ve experienced. On my first day of classes, my instructor told us she already looked at us as RNs, and I knew I was going to love it here.

We got a lot of hands-on experience in our skills labs, and our clinicals – I’ve seen the clinical paperwork that my friends at other colleges have done, and our program was as hard or harder than theirs. 

Something I found at M State is that every student has a story. There are people from all walks of life – who have other degrees, who had their kids early, who are minorities. That’s something I value because everybody has a story, yet everyone is seen as an equal at M State."
