Hear From Students

“People should consider nursing because it is a gratifying career. As a nurse, every day will always be different. You’ll treat patients with unique health situations and at varying stages of life. There are also so many different things that you can do that fit your personality.”

“I chose nursing over anything else because it truly is the most rewarding career! It can be a lot of hard work and stress, but the outcomes and words that patients give you can really make your day.”

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

“I love how the faculty are so easy to reach out to. I love how close people are here with one another. And I love the atmosphere in general.”

“A piece of advice I have for other students is to make use of all the resources around you. From the Office of Peer Tutoring to The Aspire Center, there are many places to receive guidance.”

“I chose Carthage because of the incredible faculty within the nursing program and the small class sizes. You can tell that the nursing faculty want to get to know you, and you can create that professional relationship with them that will help you with internship and jobs in the future. .”

“Other students should consider the nursing major if they’re really passionate about providing care to people on a physical, mental, and emotional level. Nurses have the ability to impact the lives of individuals during their most vulnerable circumstances. It is an incredible feeling to provide comfort and support to others when they need it most.”

“The Carthage nursing faculty taught me the importance of believing in my ability to impact the lives of others — not only physically, but mentally.”
