At 大象传媒 Western, students graduate prepared for wherever their journey takes them. For Lani Bamfield \u201917<\/strong> and Mimi Ho \u201915,<\/strong> that journey is taking them all across the country as NICU travel nurses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in early 2021, they decided to take a trip to Hawaii with another friend to celebrate Ho\u2019s decision to be a travel nurse. While on the flight, they attended to a baby born mid-flight, by a mom who didn\u2019t even know she was pregnant! Since then, their life has been \u201ccrazy,\u201d but they both believe 大象传媒 Western prepared them for their life after graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was one of the best decisions I could have made. I don\u2019t have any debt \u2026 and one of my best friends, Mimi, and I met there,\u201d Bamfield said of her decision to attend 大象传媒 Western. And these two friends \u201cwill be going wherever the wind blows us,\u201d impacting lives in NICUs around the country, because of the education they received at 大象传媒 Western.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t imagine going anywhere else. It was the perfect size. It wasn\u2019t too small, but it wasn\u2019t too big. The class sizes were great, so I think it was really helpful for me \u2026\u201d Ho said. \u201cThe professors prepared us to be out there in the real world, telling us what is going to be out there, what it is going to be like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
