SUNO Affordability and Nursing School with Trashell

Transcript

Let’s meet Trashell, a junior nursing major. The SUNO School of Nursing is an official academic partner of LCMC Health, the largest hospital network in New Orleans. This nursing program is dedicated to cultivating culturally competent and compassionate nurses who are making a meaningful impact in healthcare. Students gain valuable hands-on experience and learn from expert faculty and state-of-the-art facilities. Trashell, you’re up.

– Thanks, Desi. Hi, everyone. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to study nursing, but when it came down to choosing the right university, I wanted to school with resources and academic rigor to push me towards the future I imagined. Southern University at New Orleans was the perfect choice. I’m a part of Southern history being a part of the first nursing cohort on the campus. The SUNO Nursing Program’s mission is to produce nursing graduates that practice autonomously and independently as a member of the healthcare team to positively impact the lives of individuals, families, and the community. SUNO makes sure its students are prepared for the world to come after graduation. I’ve been provided numerous resources to help me prepare for my career. One resource that is very beneficial is Handshake. Handshake is a community of students, schools, and employers to find internships, land a job, practice interviews, and resume writing. We have over 20 diverse selections of vibrant clubs and organizations from academic and professional societies to cultural and social groups, there is something for everyone. The nursing program even has the organization to help the nursing students to contribute to this campus and community to provide health awareness, service opportunities, and to have a voice on this campus. It has brought me closer to my fellow classmates and allowed me to make lifelong friendships. All of this and SUNO is still the most affordable university in the state of Louisiana. SUNO’s nursing program prepared me in more ways than I could have hoped. I’ve been able to gather knowledge as I learned how to communicate what I’m passionate about. Back to you, Desi.

– Wow, Trashell. SUNO is truly shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals. Through its rigorous curriculum, clinical experiences, and strong partnerships with LCMC Health, the students have the knowledge, skills, and compassion needed to provide exceptional care at the most affordable HBCU and public university in Louisiana. Cheers, Trashell.
