Abigail Houston
Abigail Love Houston graduated from Lee University in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She is currently a registered nurse at CHI Memorial in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in their oncology department, and is back at Lee working on her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree to become a family nurse practitioner. “My time at Lee in the undergraduate nursing program was incredibly challenging, but I know that I would not be the nurse I am today without their guidance,” said Abigail. “I was stretched mentally and physically, and now daily transfer the knowledge and grit gained from Lee to my profession as a nurse. I am excited to see where the rest of my journey at Lee as a doctoral student takes me.”
