"Something I appreciate so much about nursing here is that they teach us how to be godly nurses. At the same time, they push us hard in our sciences and in our anatomy and physiology and the other classes that we need in order to learn about different diseases and how to treat them. I went to Togo with the mindset of serving, but I ended up learning so much from the people there. They had so little and they were so appreciative of our care."
