Jennifer Bowman was working as a staff nurse at a local hospital when she began to look for a career path that would take her in new directions.

Amanda Ifill has wanted to be a nurse since the ninth grade. After deciding that the college where she initially enrolled was not quite meeting her needs, she transferred to RMU, attracted by its individualized focus and innovative programs. The school’s simulation labs allow nursing students to practice their skills on high-tech mannequins or with trained actors. For students like Amanda, simulation provides a valuable opportunity to put into action all that they have learned in their classrooms in a safe and low-pressure environment.
