Denver College of Nursing - Houston

Nursing school comes with early mornings, long study sessions, and plenty of new information to absorb.

During this Stress Awareness Month, we are encouraging our DCN community to remember that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others.🫶

Nursing students and alumni: what helped you manage stress during busy weeks in school?

We caught up with one of our amazing alumni to see what life has looked like after graduation 💉✨

Since graduating, she’s been stepping confidently into her role as a professional nurse—applying the knowledge and resilience she built during the program to real patient care every single day 🤍

She’s currently a Nurse Resident on the Med-Surg/Post-Op unit 🏥

When asked about her favorite memory, she shared it was the sense of community—late-night study sessions, clinical experiences, and the unwavering support from classmates and faculty that reminded her she was never alone 🫶🏽

We love seeing our alumni thrive! 💫

Faculty Spotlight: Professor Brown, MSN, RN✨
Professor Brown is only 2 quarters into her tenure with us and is hitting the ground running this quarter. She is taking initiative and making sure every student feels supported in their learning journey. Big impact from day one!
