The NNP graduate program has not been an easy path, but Dr. Waskosky has been by my side every step of the way to inspire me by providing empathy when it got hard.
I would not be in graduate school if it were not for Dr. Waskosky. She saw abilities in me that I did not realize were there and encouraged me to use those abilities in the NNP graduate program. She is so passionate about encouraging others to utilize their abilities to their fullest potential. If it were not for Dr. Waskosky's encouragement, I would not have had the confidence to pursue this new career path.

The NNP graduate program has not been an easy path, but Dr. Waskosky has been by my side every step of the way to inspire me by providing empathy when it got hard. Dr. Waskosky has been my teammate throughout this entire program, and I am so happy to have her as my faculty advisor for culminating evidence-based practice project. Dr. Waskosky's drive to ensure that she provides all the students in the NNP track quality education so they can become outstanding NNPs has been a selfless endeavor.

Often, I am able to reach out to her at varying hours, sometimes very late at night, and she will always respond with an answer quickly. She freely gives her time (even when she is supposed to be on vacation) to help her students. These admirable traits are a result of her love of the nursing profession and her desire to have successful graduates that can utilize everything she gave us in their careers as NNPs. I am so thankful for all the encouragement, advice, and love that she has provided to me! I would not be where I am without this remarkable lady guiding me!
