Athlete. Scholar. Nurse.

Being a student-athlete requires discipline, perseverance, leadership, and a commitment to excellence.

Those same qualities create exceptional nurses.

As a collegiate basketball player and nursing student, Enoka Franky learned how to balance competition, academics, and service to others. Today, those experiences continue to shape his successful nursing career.

If you're a student-athlete looking for a challenging academic path with meaningful impact, nursing may be the perfect fit.

At Truett McConnell University's Rielin & Salmen School of Nursing, student-athletes don't have to choose between pursuing their athletic goals and preparing for a profession that changes lives. Our faculty and staff create an environment that endorses the pursuit of both nursing and athletics. This allows both discipline and determination to build life characteristics that will enhance future possibilities.
