Meet Molly Mouch
'24, Bachelor of Science in Nursing
"Being a part of so much in the College of Nursing has allowed me to see how many different ways I can give back as a nurse. I am so grateful to have been an Ambassador for the College of Nursing as I have been able to be someone to look up to just as I had with those students ahead of me."
Meet Rokya Miller
'20, RN to B.S.N.
“An RN/BSN degree at The University of Toledo gave me the opportunity to be a clinical instructor for other BSN students and the knowledge and willingness to further my education to become a Nurse Practitioner. One of the things that I liked about UToledo College of Nursing is that the classes were all self-paced. In the beginning of the semester all of the coursework is given out and it can be completed on our own time. This helps with the balance of work, home life, and school.”
Meet Cindy Pu
'20, Clinical Nurse Leader Master's
