Last night, nursing faculty attended the 3rd Annual Spring Into Nurse Wellness Benefit Gala during Nurses Week. They were able to celebrate the nursing profession with inspiring talks, live music, and a silent auction while supporting mental wellness, recovery, and peer support. 🧠

Senior Nursing Spotlight. Jenna Mohler!

What is your most memorable experience at Carroll?

My most memorable moment probably has to be freshman year when I met many of my close friends. I have kept the same friends for most of my 4 years at Carroll and I wouldn't have it any other way. There were many late night laughs, long study sessions, and many fun adventures. I could not have gotten through nursing school without them, which is why freshman year is so memorable for me.

What are your plans for after graduation?

After graduation, I will be a Registered Nurse Resident at UW Madison hospital. I will be on the internal medicine unit which I am so excited for! Eventually, I aim to transition to a pediatric clinic!

Congrats Jenna and best of luck to you!

Senior Nursing Spotlight. Courtney Kaufman!

What was your most memorable experience at Carroll?

My most memorable experience while at CU was my study abroad trip to Spain last summer! I gained so much confidence and independence solo traveling and it taught me that I’m capable of much more than I may think. Back on campus, I enjoyed being an RA and helping freshmen with the college transition.

What are your plans after graduation?

I’ve accepted an offer at Aurora Oshkosh in their med-surg unit. Eventually, I’d like to transition into travel nursing to experience all the different parts of the U.S.

Congratulations Courtney! We wish you all the best!

What has been your most memorable experience at Carroll?

One of the most memorable moments I have from Carroll is from the summer courses when we were in class almost the entire day. We had two short breaks and spent those breaks taking in the sunshine as much as we could. It was refreshing getting to hangout and relax outside.
