Happy ! 🌊

Meet Claudia Simental, a first-generation Latina nursing student in Pepperdine's inaugural 2-year BSN cohort, and the first student in the School of Nursing to receive the prestigious March of Dimes Nursing Scholarship! 🎉

Alongside being a full-time student, Claudia works as an EMT in the emergency department at Community Memorial Hospital and has served as an EMT skills instructor at Ventura College, where she loves helping future EMTs build confidence and develop lifesaving skills. After earning her BSN, she hopes to work as an ER nurse before specializing in the neonatal intensive care unit or pediatric emergency medicine.

When she's not studying or in scrubs, Claudia is an avid reader (romance novels are her favorite) and a devoted sports fan cheering on the LA Dodgers, Kings, and Rams. One of her favorite Pepperdine memories is studying in Payson Library by the windows overlooking the ocean, a place made even more meaningful by the fact that her parents once worked on this very campus.

We asked Claudia what advice she would share with incoming students:

"Say yes to new opportunities and get involved in everything that interests you. Explore campus, ask questions, attend events, join clubs, go on a hike, and step outside your comfort zone. College is about discovering who you are, building meaningful relationships, and creating memories that will stay with you long after graduation. The more you put yourself out there, the more you'll gain from your Pepperdine experience."

"My greatest inspiration to pursue nursing was my mother. Growing up in a single-parent household, she was my hero and role model. She demonstrated what it truly means to serve others with kindness and empathy, and that example is what drew me toward a career in healthcare." — Dr. Michael Jermakian, Assistant Professor, Pepperdine School of Nursing

Happy Mother's Day to every mom, your inspiration is contagious. 💙

It's ! Meet MacKenna Conner, an ELM-CNL student who completed her clinical rotations at HCA Healthcare's Los Robles Health System, gaining hands-on experience in a real-world care environment while building the skills and confidence needed to deliver high-quality patient care.

We love working with our clinical partners to ensure the best nursing education inside and outside the classroom!

We asked MacKenna to share something she's learned during her clinical experience at Los Robles Rehabilitation Hospital: "I learned the importance of teamwork, communication, delegation, and time management in nursing while observing how different members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team work together to improve patient outcomes."
