Meet Courtney Ellis '09 “I often rave about the Nursing program. Not only did we have small class sizes, but we were challenged and made to learn the technical skills needed to make it outside of the classroom.” Courtney Ellis '09, Certified Family Nurse Practitioner at Asthma & Allergy Associates P.C.
