"Struggles with drug and alcohol addiction prevented me from following through on my first two attempts at college, but I went to treatment and got sober in 2012, and things changed for me. Due to my personal experiences, I knew I wanted a career focused on helping others. I enrolled in the Nursing program at M State in 2015 and graduated with my associate of science degree in nursing in 2018.

I had a wonderful experience at M State. I loved the small class sizes, affordable tuition and knowledgeable instructors. I met lifelong friends that I still stay in touch with today. Learning was fun at M State, and it equipped me with the knowledge, skills and training I needed to start my nursing career. 

I recently obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing and plan to continue my education to pursue a master’s degree in nursing. M State helped lay the foundation for my academic journey and sparked my desire to pursue further education."
