Carina Meixelsperger chose to attend the UW–Madison School of Nursing because it has been her dream school since she was young. Growing up attending Badger games, she always wanted to be a Badger.

One of her favorite nursing school memories has been spending time with her clinical group. “We had so much fun together in CTEN (Center for Technology-Enhanced Nursing), clinical and class!” After graduation, she hopes to become a pediatric intensive care (PICU) nurse.

Meixelsperger’s favorite UW tradition is sitting at the Memorial Union terrace at sunset and listening to the live bands play. For prospective nursing students, she advises, “Get involved in some sort of health care experience, whether that be getting your CNA license, phlebotomy, or EMT. The options are endless, and it will help you get an idea of what kind of nursing you might want to do.”
