Experience what makes WSU extraordinary!
As a health care provider, I recognize that I am responsible for the health of individuals and the community. Pursuing my DNP FNP is helping me become more efficacious in that mandate. I love the intellectual and emotional growth I am gaining and look forward to more skillfully contributing to individual and community health.

Earning my Nursing degree from WSU means accomplishing my goal and also pursuing the dream of having my daughter see me graduate as a doctor.
Paisha A., DNP Student
I am a married mother of two. I grew up in Uganda but moved to the United States with my siblings 16 years ago. While growing up in Uganda I had a dream to become a nurse and later also became interested in public health. I hope to use my DNP in Advanced Population Health to better my community by focusing on the prevention of illness.
