The inductees are described as \u201cdistinguished high-achieving leaders in their fields and involved members of their communities who have engaged with Purdue Northwest well beyond their time as students.\u201d I sat down with Nicole to talk about what this honor means to her, key experiences that shaped her journey up to this point, and her advice for the future generation of nurses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Q: What inspired you to pursue a career in the healthcare industry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: I didn\u2019t choose to become a nurse by nature. In fact, becoming a nurse wasn\u2019t something I envisioned as a little girl. After I graduated high school, I chose to attend a local university, Purdue Northwest, in part because I could not afford many of the other colleges I was accepted to. There, I met with a guidance counselor and told her how my grandma had recently passed away from a massive medical error. I expressed to my counselor how I would love to make hospitals safer places, and she suggested nursing. After thinking about it, I applied for the program and got accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Q: What is one of the biggest challenges you&#8217;ve faced in your nursing career, and how did you overcome it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: One of the biggest challenges in becoming a confident nurse was overcoming the fear that I faced. For about two years starting out, I would walk into the hospital with butterflies in my stomach, scared of what I was going to see. I think the biggest thing for me was making myself show up. It would have been easier to say forget it and walk away, but I made a conscious decision to conquer it and keep showing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Q: Can you describe a key moment in your career when you realized the impact your work was having on others?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: One of the most profound moments of my career was at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. There, I had an idea to formalize a sepsis program in which we would pay more attention to the signs and symptoms of a patient who has an infection. Through extensive collaboration with physicians, hospital administration, and following the published research, we launched a very successful program that led to decreased mortality and significant cost avoidance. Now being 32 years in and reflecting on my career, I\u2019d say that is one of the accomplishments I am most proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Q: What does being inducted into the Purdue Alumni Hall of Fame mean to you personally and professionally?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: I was absolutely shocked to get the call that I was being inducted into the Hall of Fame because I was an extremely average student. My motto was \u2018C\u2019s get degrees\u2019 because I had to work two jobs while going through nursing school. When giving my acceptance speech at Purdue, I kept saying that my professors would be absolutely shocked if they remembered who I was. I am extremely proud to be the second female and very first nurse given this honor.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nicolekupchikconsulting.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FullSizeRender-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2873\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nicole with her first preceptor, Rafe Arias (left) and traveling nurse friend, Susan Groller (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Q: Looking back, what advice you would give yourself when you were just starting out as a nurse given what you know now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: I think the biggest piece of advice I would give new nurse Nicole is to say yes to all opportunities that present themselves. I would tell her to say yes to continuing education, say yes to traveling, just say yes to any opportunity that comes her way. I think it\u2019s super important to encourage new nurses to say yes, get involved, and seek out opportunities because you never know where it will lead you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> <strong>What do you see as the future of healthcare education, and how do you hope to contribute to that future?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: As a nurse who provides education to other nurses, I have definitely had to change the way that I deliver education. I have tried as much as possible to incorporate different approaches. I use a lot of storytelling and anecdotal examples and try to think of goofy ways of explaining things like dances and cheers. I try to make it as interactive as possible. I think what does not work in continuing education with adult learners is being spoken at. I truly feel that we need to use multi-modal approaches to providing education. The challenge comes when you have to provide a lot of education in a short amount of time. I always try to ask how I can best relay information that is absolutely essential and can be helpful to nurses at the bedside.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nicolekupchikconsulting.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0194.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2872\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nicole with friends and family at the Purdue Alumni Hall of Fame Wall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help support future nursing students and support the Purdue community, Nicole also sponsored her very own scholarship: The Nicole Kupchik Nursing Scholarship Fund.
