Alumni Spotlight

Name: Steve Carpenter

Graduated: Class of 2006

Current job: Medical ICU,
University of Utah Hospital

"My experience with the SUU Nursing Program has been amazing. I started the program with zero experience in the nursing field and now I am working in the Medical ICU at The University of Utah Hospital. The training and education I received from SUU has opened many doors of opportunity since graduation. I landed a great job, and I will soon begin nurse anesthetist school in Florida. SUU’s Nursing Program has helped make my career dreams become a reality."
