After working with patients with mental illness for over 20 years, it was fitting to obtain my degree as a PMHNP.

How did the EKU Online faculty aid in your success?
Faculty are very supportive and always available to students for questions or problem solving. They are all kind and genuinely show they care about your learning experience.
