Student Success
UCF’s College of Nursing has been the heart of my journey — where knowledge met compassion and service became purpose.
Meet Allyson ’26BSN, Order of Pegasus Awardee
I chose UCF because it’s relatively local, it has an on-campus skills lab and is not solely online, it has professors who are active clinicians and nurse practitioners, and its graduates have a high pass rate on the board certification exams.
