After being a Duke TIP (Talent Identification Program) scholar, it was my childhood dream to attend DUSON. I viewed it as an honor and a privilege to be taught and trained by some of the brightest minds in the nursing profession. I not only chose DUSON for their top national ranking, but there are many faculty and staff that truly are here for student success. I would recommend the ‘Duke experience’ to anyone!
