My interviewee obtained her Master’s in Informatics at the University of Phoenix in 2013. Transitioning into the Master’s program was seamless since this school was where she obtained her BSN. The online route was most efficient and that is the route she pursued.

The goal of this program is to equip nurses to function in leadership roles in a variety of settings. Additionally, nursing theories and evidence-based practices are fundamental guidelines in this program that will help shape the future of nursing thus impacting the health care system (University of Phoenix, 2014).

The hard work that she and other volunteers did to grow the education aspect helped her create the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery. (“When did nursing first start”). That school has a history which dates back to the first school of nursing opened by Florence Nightingale at St. Thomas' Hospital on 9 July 1860.
