Commitment to quality care
I chose the University of Rochester because I wanted to combine my passions of food, nutrition, diabetes, and medicine. Nursing at the University of Rochester was a really great option. We can play off our strengths and passions. You can have a previous degree and just rock and roll straight through it. A big appeal was its partnership with Strong Hospital. It opened up the door for a really powerful clinical experience.
