One of the most impactful courses was Practicum, which gave me the opportunity to interact with multiple disciplines while having a mentor nearby. Speaking from personal experience, the nurse I was placed with provided me with valuable insight into what it’s really like to be a nurse, powerful life lessons, and recommendations for my future.
