“The most rewarding part of my Healthcare Administration Program was my optional senior practicum. Allowing me time to explore and learn more about the hospital setting, nursing leadership, management meetings, marketing, and social networking. I was delighted to have so many opportunities and knew I wanted to continue and grow under Mercy.”
