Hi, my name is Amanda Dailor.


I'm in the Master's of 
Science of Nursing Program


at University of San Francisco 
Orange County Campus.


The MSN program takes students 
with previous bachelors degrees


and teaches them about 
the leadership of nursing


and the nursing foundational 
skills and knowledge.


Master's entry level program 
here at Orange County


is an accelerated program.


It's a mixed instruction.


Sometimes the students would 
be in their classroom setting.


Sometimes they would 
be on simulation


where they practice 
hands-on training.


And then from there, 
we will have clinicals


that the school sets up for us.


And we actually get to 
go in a hospital setting


and practice all the 
things that we've


learned in both our lecture 
class and our lab class.


With a higher-level degree, it 
opens a lot of doors for me,


because I can work at the 
bedside if I want with nursing.


But I can also really take that 
patient care up to a next level


as far as education goes.


I can go into teaching.


The class sizes are small.


So you can really interact 
with not only your classmates,


but your teacher, as well.


You can get one-on-one learning.


It's centralized.


So a lot of our 
clinical locations


aren't very far from the campus.


I've been working 
this entire time


while I've been in the program.


And then I have a number of 
classmates who are also working


and have families.


The students that graduate 
from this program, I believe,


are more humane and 
culturally competent,


because they are exposed to many 
different types of populations.


Everyone has a passion 
for what we're doing.


All of our instructors, 
all the students.


Everybody wants to be here.


And I think that's the 
most important part.


The culture here 
is we're a family.


We're going to teach each other.


We're going to get it together.


And we're and go out and 
make a change in the world.


Our goal is to teach 
our students to become


the future of nursing.
