Brandy Jurevitz ’19 BSN


Brandy knows a good nurse focuses on the patient, and the family, too. 她在爱荷华大学斯特德家庭儿童医院的几个志愿者职位和辅导员职位上获得了这种观点, where she now works as a general pediatric nurse. "Those experiences made me a better nurse. I not only take care of patients, 但我也看到了它对整个家庭的影响,我也试着照顾他们," Brandy said. Going beyond was a value reflected in her SAU education. "I love the nursing program at SAU. 教育是在个人层面上的,每个教授都让你觉得自己很特别,很重要, that you are smart and will be an amazing nurse.”
