Prepared for Practice

When Christian Shepler, BSN’25, graduated from the School of Nursing’s pre-licensure program, he stepped directly into one of nursing’s most demanding environments: the ICU. Now, just over a year into his career, Shepler reflects on the lessons, clinical preparation, and communication skills that helped him move from student to confident bedside nurse—and how Duke prepared him for the pace and pressure of high-acuity care.
