BSN Cultivating More Than Nurses

Esther Nguyen has always known the importance of family and a strong support system. The University of Houston allowed her to remain close to hers while still experiencing the diversity of people and ideas on campus. However, Esther did not anticipate she would discover a second family when she entered UH’s Traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program.
