How can UW-Milwaukee help you discover if nursing is the right career for you?

Grace graduated from UW-Milwaukee in 2026 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She entered college unsure what career she wanted to pursue, but her interest in science and an invitation to join the UWM Nursing Scholars program sparked her interest in nursing.

Through UW-Milwaukee’s nursing program, Grace gained hands-on opportunities to practice the skills she would use as a nurse before graduating. That experience helped her build confidence and better understand what it’s really like to work in nursing.

For Grace, her time at UW-Milwaukee was about more than preparing for a career: The experiences and challenges she encountered helped her become more self-assured and shaped who she is today. Watch her interview below.
