"The things that I’m learning in my classes I’m able to do immediately in my role and I’m able to make positive changes in my unit from the things that I’m learning."

"Being able to go to a world-class institution like the UAB School of Nursing, gain additional knowledge and have the benefit of being in a cohort of other professionals that can be your lifelong friends as well as professional networking is something that will benefit you throughout your career and really just your life experience."

Stephanie Reed MSN Nursing Informatics Graduate
"I have been a nurse for almost six years. I was nervous going back to school but my instructors have been amazing. They are so kind and so helpful. The program has allowed me to see what leadership looks like and all of the possibilities in nursing. I know getting my BSN will open more opportunities for me."

Brandi Gibson RN to BSN Student
"UAB was my top choice to pursue a PhD. The education, mentorship, and resources at UAB provided me with skills and connections to be an expert scientist. It is because of my PhD from UAB that I can pursue my passion of conducting research that makes a difference and improves the health of children."
