Dr. Lee Murray
Dr. Lee Murray, RN, PhD, associate professor, College of Nursing, explains that prior learning and experience from an undergraduate degree can be a valuable stepping stone to a career in nursing. "I believe it prepares students for critical thinking, gives them a thirst for knowledge and imparts a broad world view. This is an advantage for the specialized work in the classroom and in practical settings."
