BYU Nursing students Catherine Wendel and Grace Edwards stood in front of nursing professionals from across the country at the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) annual conference in October 2025. They presented on the implementation of a multi-patient, team psychiatric simulation for undergraduate students here at BYU College of Nursing.
It goes without saying that BYU College of Nursing requires a major commitment. Students devote themselves to three years of time in class, scheduling clinical hours, and research/community projects, to say nothing of the untold hours studying. There’s a reason why many students describe the experience as wonderfully stretching.
