“Nursing isn’t just about clinical skills — it’s about advocating for your patients and their families during some of the hardest moments of their lives,” said Matthew Pardillo ’25, now a Cardiac Critical Care Nurse. “It’s challenging, but it’s also one of the most meaningful and fulfilling paths you can choose.”
