Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing Class of 2014
Growing up in rural Kansas, access to medical care was extremely limited for Victoria Faulkner, DNP, RN, and her family. "We had to learn to care for ourselves through nature and the land," Victoria explains. "So it became a natural transition to medicine."

Growing up, Brian Torres saw nursing expertise firsthand from his mother who was an Army nurse (and Lieutenant Colonel). "In high school, she set up a shadow experience for me with a CRNA (certified registered nurse anesthetist)," Brian says. "I wanted to become a nurse based on my excitement about the role of CRNAs and I could visualize my pathway."
