Why The Univeristy of Pennsylvania?


Yeah....why go to the most expensive school in Philly? No, it's not because I like to spend money and lots of it. It's because I'm convinced that I'll receive the best nurse practitioner education money can buy. Seriously. I researched several schools in the area and chose Penn for several reasons.

1. Their reputation cannot be matched by any other school in the area.

2. The access to outstanding professors, research opportunities and the ability to work within the Penn health care system during clinical rotations.

3. Penn's access to well established preceptors in both the city and community hospitals. (aka: I don't have to find my own preceptor)

4. The pass rate on the board exam is approx. 95%. Sounds pretty good to me.

I'm looking at the decision to attend Penn as an investment that will have great return for the rest of my career.
