Meet Sarah Lewicki-Hendrix, MN Alum

Thank you to Master of Nursing alum Sarah Lewick-Hendrix for agreeing to an interview with NHS. We were excited to learn more about Sarah and why they chose our program and how it prepared them for the future.

Why did you decide to pursue a Master of Nursing at UW Bothell?

I decided to pursue my MN at UW Bothell because I wanted to grow in my career and knew I needed more skills to explore different areas of nursing leadership. I had many coworkers who attended and loved their experience at UW Bothell which made me confident in applying to the program.

What do you feel this program most prepared you for post-graduation?

This program prepared me to think more critically as a leader. It challenged me to think differently about healthcare advocacy, leadership, and finance. It also equipped me with the program and project management skills to get projects off the ground more effectively in my department. 

Please tell us what you are doing now that you’ve graduated? 

I am a Nursing Professional Development Practitioner at Seattle Children’s Hospital. I use my MN in Administrative Leadership to help lead projects and programs that support nursing education, training, and competency within my organization. 

What is one piece of advice you would give incoming MN students?

The MN program at UW Bothell gives you great opportunities to connect folks working in the greater Seattle area. Enjoy this time connecting with and learning from your colleagues- I am so grateful to have stayed in contact with many people from this program!
