They dedicate their time to help us success and start off our careers on the right foot. I\u2019ve never come across a professor here who was unwilling to give as much as was needed,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>Besides the personal attention she gets from her faculty, Simone believes the strong theoretical foundation she gets at URI has led to the best possible clinical experiences. She chose URI over other programs because of the variety of courses, the variety of clinical experiences, and the combination of expert faculty and solid curriculum. <\/p>\n<p>Now, her big idea is to become a Certified Nurse Midwife and offer quality health care in countries that don\u2019t enjoy the quality heath system we have in the United States. \u201cIf I can make a difference in someone\u2019s life on the other side of the world, I will have fulfilled my life\u2019s goal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hometown: Cranston, Rhode Island A career in medicine was always in Simone\u2019s big plans, but it was the personal connections that nurses make with their patients that led her to choose nursing.
