Amy Whaley
For some UHV students, the only way to continue their education is to attend school online. There are undergraduate and graduate students who are professionals who need the flexibility of online courses, such as students in UHV’s online nursing program, who are already registered nurses.
Goliad’s Amy Whaley had been a registered nurse for more than 30 years when she graduated from the UHV nursing program in the fall. She always had a desire to get a bachelor’s degree in nursing, but couldn’t have done traditional face-to-face classes with a full-time job. Whaley is the director of health services for the Robstown Independent School District.
Thanks to UHV’s online classes, Whaley was able to work on her homework late at night, early in the morning and on weekends. Her classmates also lived in South Texas, and another classmate was able to take classes while working out of state as a travel nurse, Whaley said.
As an older adult, Whaley initially worried that she wasn’t tech-savvy enough to take online classes. However, UHV’s system was easy to use and she received help with the online program as well as a nursing scholarship that paid for her tuition and tuition.
“It was a little daunting at first, but with the help of the teachers and UHV tech support, the website became very user-friendly for me,” Whaley said. “The UHV online program is extremely organized and full of valuable information. I gained a plethora of knowledge which I use in my current role.
