MALINDA WHITLOW:
When I originally

00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:10.880 align:middle line:84%
was approached to go back to
school to get my bachelor's

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.160 align:middle line:84%
degree after working
on general medicine

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.860 align:middle line:84%
inpatient for over
four years, I didn't

00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:18.080 align:middle line:84%
think that it would
benefit me to go

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:19.715 align:middle line:90%
back and further my education.

00:00:19.715 --> 00:00:22.040 align:middle line:84%
MARK BENEDICT: I knew that
I had a good foundation

00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:26.660 align:middle line:84%
of my clinical skills, but I
didn't know some of the roles

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:29.786 align:middle line:90%
that nurses could play.

00:00:29.786 --> 00:00:31.700 align:middle line:84%
ELLEN BELL: When I
learn stuff here,

00:00:31.700 --> 00:00:33.890 align:middle line:84%
I take it right back
to my fellow nurses

00:00:33.890 --> 00:00:35.570 align:middle line:84%
and we talk about
things-- things

00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:37.190 align:middle line:84%
that I never had
talked about before,

00:00:37.190 --> 00:00:39.170 align:middle line:90%
things I never even fathom.

00:00:39.170 --> 00:00:43.100 align:middle line:84%
KAITLYN NIESENT: I chose
UVA for the hybrid program

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:44.000 align:middle line:90%
that they offer.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.150 align:middle line:84%
It was very unique
and once a month

00:00:47.150 --> 00:00:49.580 align:middle line:90%
isn't that terrible of a drive.

00:00:49.580 --> 00:00:52.700 align:middle line:84%
It's easy commute
and you definitely

00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:55.850 align:middle line:84%
make up for it in the
collaboration we have

00:00:55.850 --> 00:00:57.260 align:middle line:90%
with our peers every month.

00:00:57.260 --> 00:00:59.930 align:middle line:84%
MALINDA WHITLOW: Within
that first semester,

00:00:59.930 --> 00:01:02.390 align:middle line:84%
I could see the
transformation in myself

00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:04.400 align:middle line:84%
with building my
research and leadership

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.100 align:middle line:84%
skills that I thought that I
did not need at the bedside,

00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:11.220 align:middle line:84%
and I could also start
questioning and being

00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:14.290 align:middle line:84%
very curious of how to
better care for my patients

00:01:14.290 --> 00:01:17.472 align:middle line:90%
and improve the outcomes.

00:01:17.472 --> 00:01:19.290 align:middle line:84%
KAITLYN NIESENT: I
liked that I would

00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:24.660 align:middle line:84%
be able to learn from my peers
as a new grad RN every month.

00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:28.440 align:middle line:84%
ELLEN BELL: Just the overall
experience has been wonderful,

00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:30.000 align:middle line:84%
and I would recommend
this to anyone.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.630 align:middle line:84%
MARK BENEDICT: I feel definitely
like I can do more for nurses

00:01:33.630 --> 00:01:36.120 align:middle line:84%
and more for patients
now after this program.
