Came to FPB because...

My most unique FPB experience:
My most unique experience is hard to choose. The support and mentorship I've received from the faculty at FPB has been invaluable when pursuing my doctoral education.

The first word that comes to my mind when I think of:
FPB... Leadership
Nursing... Evolving
Cleveland... Dynamic
Case Western Reserve University Scholarship
Clinicals... Fun

The best nursing class at FPB I've taken so far:

The best thing about being an FPB student:
FPB is an excellent place to learn, to challenge, and to celebrate the profession of nursing.
