Attending The University of Iowa was one of the best things that has happened in my life. I am a native of Chile and Peru and I hoped and wished one day to study in the United States. When I received my acceptance letter to the UI College of Nursing, I was very excited and I knew that I was going to learn the nursing process from the best professors in the country.

From the very first day I felt welcomed and many professors helped me with the transitional period from high school to college. Many of them supported me through difficult times and they encouraged me to never give up. Thanks to many of them, I have been able to develop into the nurse that I am today.

I gained so much knowledge and experience at the College of Nursing. I feel that the college really prepared me to confront the 'real world.'
