CHERYL-ANN DALEY:

“ I got my initial nursing degree in 2011. And I started working in a medical surgical unit right away. Since then, I had been thinking that I wanted to become a nurse practitioner who could change things for patients.

During the interview here, when I met with two professors, I was excited, and the interview was fun. They seemed genuinely interested in what I could bring to the table, and I thought that what they could provide me made it a perfect fit.”

Cheryl-Ann Daley will complete her nurse practitioner degree in two years while working 30 hours per week at Anne Arundel Medical Center.

“ Dr. Norwich has been really supportive. It’s easy to talk about the relationships between what goes on in class and what goes on with real patients in clinicals.”
