I absolutely LOVED this program! ... I feel like the info has already allowed me to make a huge impact on area farmers.

I enjoyed the autonomy of the Nurse Scholar program - I was able to work around our busy ranch schedule and my current night shift schedule… This is a great program to gain a better understanding of the impact agriculture has on healthcare!
