Real-Life
Experience

"UW-Green Bay prepared me for my career as a nurse in many ways but the most significant was the number and variety of real-life experiences they provided for us students. Every semester, we got the opportunity to practice at the simulation center at Aurora BayCare Medical Center and our clinical groups were small which provided us with lots of hands-on practice with patients. Not only were we in the hospital setting, but we got experience in the schools, public health and local clinics."
