Coug Nurses Shaping the Future of Healthcare
This year, WSU College of Nursing was named among the nation’s “Most Loved Colleges” and “Best BSN Programs” – recognition earned through the exceptional people who make up this college. Faculty like Julie Postma, newly named a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, and first-generation students like Jorge Gaytan Garcia, who’s turning his own community’s barriers to care into his life’s work, are redefining what it means to be a Coug Nurse.
