Earning a degree in Nursing<\/a> isn\u2019t only a matter of passing exams and clocking clinical hours \u2014 it’s also about developing the compassion, patience, and resilience necessary to navigate challenges in the field.<\/p>\n

Likewise, it\u2019s not bravery alone that makes an Army medic. Alongside the courage and commitment it takes to serve, these heroes must command superior healthcare skills and possess an impeccable bedside manner \u2014 equipping them to remain calm, empathetic, and focused under high-stakes circumstances.<\/p>\n

A paramedic, firefighter, and accomplished critical care flight paramedic, Will has embraced every obstacle with remarkable drive and determination, all while balancing his roles as a husband and father of three.<\/p>\n

At Goodwin University, SFC. Will has found the exemplary support student veterans<\/a> deserve, helping him embark on the next step in his professional journey \u2014 serving as a critical care flight nurse in the Army.<\/p>\n
