What Our Graduates Say

"During my time at NHTI I had the opportunity to learn from some of the nicest and most knowledgeable faculty around. I will always be grateful for what they have taught me. I also had the honor and privilege of serving as President of the NHTI Student Senate for 2005-06. It was an experience I will never forget."
       Jason Massey - Nursing Graduate
       Class of 2006
       Winner of 2006 "President's Award"

"I chose NHTI because my mother-in-law, a nurse supervisor and forty-year veteran of the nursing profession, told me that she was impressed with the NHTI nurses.  I took her advice and, without even considering another school, chose to attend NHTI.   I’m glad I did.  My training has been first rate and the faculty has been very supportive.  My daughter is now considering a career in nursing and as we look at other schools, I have come to realize what a great decision I made.  Not only is NHTI staying ahead of the new technology, our six year average NCLEX exam passage rate is the highest in the state.  Thank you, NHTI!"
       Beth McGurty
       RN Class of 2006

"I finished NHTI's Practical Nursing program in January, 2004. Because of the support I received from the nursing faculty, I decided to come back to study for my registered nursing degree. The faculty have been wonderful helping me to reach my goal, so that I'm graduating in May (2006). I'm working part time at the Laurel Center Nursing Home in Bedford. Thank you very much for believing in me, even at the time I couldn't believe in myself. You kept telling me 'You know you can do it!' And I did it!"
