“I graduated from Malone’s BSN program so when the time was right for me to return to school, I knew I wanted to do my MSN at Malone. I valued the cohort model because we could learn from each other’s specialties and work together as a team. Both of Malone’s programs reinforce the importance of holistic care for our patients through the lens of Christian faith. Dr. Hartman truly represents the embodiment of faith and how it integrates with the practice of nursing. I can’t imagine enrolling in a program where I couldn’t integrate my faith. For me, this program ended way too quickly!”
“I have really enjoyed having a Christian perspective being brought to our courses throughout this program, and have found my faith being strengthened through this. One of the biggest benefits that I have seen is developing relationships with our professors who are always available to help us through our coursework . Dr Hartman has been such an inspiration! She helped us get our research project off the ground and guided us every step of the way to publication. Her encouragement and insight was exactly what we needed. We are beyond grateful for her giving us the opportunity to work with her these past years and I hope to someday be able to pay it forward!”
