Alumni Spotlight

Allison Shira Coil, RN, BSN, CRNA

"My positive experience at Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing (PHSSN) helped propel me to become the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) I am today. With the quality, personalized education and mentoring I received from PHSS, I felt confident, educated and excited to begin working as an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) RN immediately after graduation. After working in ICU for 3 years, including one year at Hendrick Medical Center, I advanced my career in 2009 with the completion of my Master of Science degree in Nurse Anesthesia from The University of Kansas. PHSSN gave me the foundation to build my career as a successful advanced practice nurse in anesthesia. I love my job as a CRNA and I would not be where I am today if it was not for Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing."
