Came to FPB because...
I researched other schools before coming to FPB, and I was blown away by the faculty and the research that occurs here. The fact that nursing researchers you read about are working at FPB (many of whom are FAANs) really impressed me. I also loved the simulation equipment with SimMan, SimBaby, and now SimChild in the Learning Resource Center, where I work as a graduate teaching assistant.
My most unique FPB experience:
Going to Guatemala! I went with the master's program for a week to San Raymundo and Antigua, Guatemala, where I cared for patients as a nurse practitioner, met inspiring people from all over North and Central America, ate amazing Guatemalan food, improved my Spanish skills, and made a difference in hundreds of people's lives.
