Hi my name is Amanda Daler
i'm in the masters of science of nursing program at University of San Francisco on the orange county campus
The msn program takes students with previous bachelor's 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 these students would be in the 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 you know 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 You know i've been working this entire time while i've been in the program and 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 going to go out and make a change in the world 
Our goal is to teach our students to become the future of nursing
