Excerpt
Today, Barberi is a senior in Wright State University’s Veteran Bachelor of Science Nursing program option, a pre-licensure B.S.N. program option for veteran and active duty personnel from the Air Force, Army and Navy who have completed training as medics and corpsmen.
Offered by the College of Nursing and Health, the program admitted eight veteran students last fall and hopes to grow to up to 24 this fall. The program is a great fit for Barberi. “You can make an immediate connection as a veteran and as a health care provider because you share the same experiences,” she said.
