Student Nurse of the Year Award 2015-2016  (SNOY)
Victoria Holman
         ​I moved here from Las Vegas in 2014 with my husband who is stationed at Minot Air 

Force Base. Our family consists of us and our dog, Spencer. I was raised in a military 

household and was taught to put others needs before my own. This influenced my 

choice to become a nurse. Nursing allows me to have a set of skills that benefit every 

population no matter age, ethnicity, religion, and socio-economic status. Outside of 

nursing I enjoy all things Disney, Netflix, tacos, and naps.
