"I graduated with a class of about 60 with most of my peers being individuals I have known since 1st grade. I chose UAB because I knew it would offer me a challenge academically and give me the opportunity to branch out to a big new school full of diverse individuals striving to reach their goals."

"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."

"My experiences at UAB have been uplifting to my leadership practice. I am a nursing leader of 30 years. I have learned so much and have enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend this DNP."

"UAB was just the perfect option for me, because it's close to rural communities. They have a lot of local and global partnerships as well and as a returning Peace Corps volunteer they offered a scholarship for someone to come and be in the Accelerated Master's Program."

"To those who are starting the AMNP program, pace yourself; don't rush the process. This program is set up for your success. Trust the faculty and things will start to click for you."

"UAB has always been my top choice. When I was in elementary school, someone came to speak to my class about the nursing program at UAB and I had decided that day I wanted to be a UAB nurse. I am glad I get to live out the dream I had when I was a kid."
