Duquesne - Pittsburgh Connection
Real Life Success Health Care Networks International Reputation
Real Life Success
Duquesne prepared me well, by offering some of the best clinical experiences in all
of Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh has a lot of trauma and specialized hospitals, such as
Allegheny General Hospital, UPMC Presbyterian and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.
My clinical experiences provided a well-rounded education and prepared me for my role
as a Mayo Clinic’s Medical ICU nurse after graduation.
Aidan Shields BSN 2022
Health Care Networks
What drew me to Duquesne are the number of hospitals in the area. There are major
hospital systems like UPMC and Allegheny Health Network along with dozens of hospitals
within a 30-minute drive. It’s great to be able to experience these health care networks
and use these different types of nursing software.
Kristy McGaughey BSN 2023
International Reputation
Pittsburgh has an international reputation for leadership in medicine and technology.
As a member of both the Biomedical Engineering and Nursing communities at Duquesne,
I have loved the endless opportunities that both programs have offered and I cannot
wait to begin to narrow down the many career choices.
