Why I love MIT

MIT played a significant role in my journey as a nurse. The staff are supportive, the placements are amazing, and I love the friendly, multicultural environment. Because of studying at MIT, I made friends for life – I’m so grateful. I am honoured to return as a staff member 5 years later, and excited to support the success of our future nurses.
