Testimonials from OC Pathways graduates.
OC alumni are practicing nurses, therapists, designers, ministers and entrepreneurs, shaped by a faith-grounded education that prepares them for more than just a job.
Ariya Regnier (2023) (Forensic Nurse)
"My education in the Oklahoma Christian University nursing program provided a strong foundation in clinical excellence, critical thinking, and compassionate patient care. Just as importantly, it shaped how I view nursing as a calling—one rooted in servant leadership and the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in every interaction. That foundation prepared me for my current role as a forensic nurse at a child advocacy center, where I care for children and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. The skills, training, and faith-based perspective I gained at Oklahoma Christian have been invaluable in helping me provide trauma-informed care, advocate for vulnerable populations, and offer compassion, stability, and hope when it is needed most."
