I feel like Mercerians really pride themselves on individuality and being who you are and embracing who you are. I really had a lot of space to get to know myself better.

Mercer has provided me with the tools to work in this current job market. ... I really enjoyed this experience. I will definitely miss the camaraderie between the teachers and the students. I feel like they put you in a position to succeed.

The professors that I've been able to learn from have taught me so many things — and not just nursing skills. They’ve taught me to be a leader. They’ve taught me to step out of my comfort zone. ... They have taken the time to get to know us as individuals, and I really feel as though this cannot be replicated anywhere else.
