An interview with… Chris Gazdick, BSN, RN, CEN
Service Line Director, Emergency Services, Sacred Heart Hospital, Allentown, Pa.


                    Can you comment on the faculty-student relationship in the program? The faculty are realistic with their demands on the student while still challenging the student to push further.
                    Has the program been flexible enough for you? The availability of the online and on-campus schedules is very convenient to the active person who is working part-time or full-time. The faculty is very flexible in order to meet the needs of the course work and your job.
                    What else should someone know about your experience here? It is the best program I have found out there. My wife is a graduate of the MSN/education program. We both have found it challenging and enjoyable. Villanova's reputation for academic excellence make it a key selling point when looking for a job in the MHA market.
