🌟 Professor of the Week: Susan Larson 🌟

This week, we are proud to highlight Professor Susan Larson, a dedicated educator with over 35 years of teaching experience at MNU. Her passion for nursing and education shines through in everything she does!

Professor Larson’s background includes over 20 years in Critical Care and Emergency Department practice, bringing real-world expertise into the classroom. She currently serves as the area coordinator in the graduate program for Healthcare Administration and Quality, where she inspires future leaders in the nursing field.

Known for her creativity and innovation, Professor Larson views teaching as both an art and a calling. She is passionate about helping students see nursing as meaningful, impactful, and even sacred work. Her love for learning, reading, and personal growth makes her a powerful role model for students.

💬 “Caring for the human soul is a privilege known by few.”

Outside the classroom, she enjoys creative pursuits, values time with her family, and proudly calls herself a Jayhawk through and through (and even feeds crows daily!). 🐦

Thank you, Professor Larson, for your dedication, compassion, and lasting impact on the nursing community! 💙

Today, our nursing students teamed up with the Olathe Fire Department in a high-intensity simulation! From emergency scenarios to life-saving teamwork, they brought their skills to the next level. Big thanks to our community partners for helping us train the nurses of tomorrow!

One of our TBSN seniors, Maddy Cole, shared in the Celebration of Scholarship today about the nursing missions trip:

“I have loved the opportunity to be able to attend Guatemala for 2 years in a row. I hope to continue to attend as an alumni! This trip is so special to me because I get to combine my two favorite things into one; missions and nursing. It’s so beautiful to be able to use what God has gifted me ti be able to further his kingdom. This trip has really helped me step into my missions journey. I would recommend 1000% to go on this mission trip. Even if you aren’t Christian, even if you feel inadequate- GO! It will change your life in ways you can’t even expect.”

MNU nursing students took some time off for self-care. They enjoyed goodie bags filled with lotion and eye masks, healthy snacks, stations included stretching, coloring, gratitude journaling and relaxation and breathing exercises. The students are learning that in this wonderful profession of nursing, they must take time to care for themselves so they can continue to care for others. It was a great day!
