“I plan to enlist in the Air Force and become a pararescue trooper. After my years of service, I plan to work in an emergency room or trauma department in a hospital.”

“I have transferred from two universities before coming to Carthage. I have never felt as welcomed or accepted as I have here. The faculty not only want you to succeed, but they understand everyone’s path is different. They cater to each student’s exact needs to make sure they can excel throughout their time here and put them on an individual path for success.”

“I have only been here for a semester, but my clinical lab has been my favorite. My instructors have tailored the class to work on making sure each student can fix the things they struggle with, not just the average things we all need to work on. My classmates have become my closest friends; we all work together to succeed as one group, not just individuals.”

“I am part of the swim and dive program here at Carthage.”

“Pathophysiologic Concept of Nursing Practice is definitely challenging. It’s the first class this introduces nursing students to advanced medical terminology. It’s the beginning of understanding how the body works and what to look for when things aren’t working. It covers a lot of content and moves at a very fast pace.”

“Nursing allows me to give care and compassion to those in need during some of the most desperate times of their lives.”

“Family is important to me; being close to home and having their support of them has gotten me to where I am today.”
