Ashley Ameis (Arcade, NY) wants to help children all over the world. Her experiences in the Alfred State nursing program have her moving toward that goal.

“My favorite part of the program is all the hands-on experience you get and the skilled clinical instructors that go with you to the facilities. You always have someone who is there to guide you and show you the right way to do things.”
