Master of Science in Nursing
Trevena Rice is currently pursuing her Master of Science in Nursing with a Leadership concentration at Framingham State University. She currently works at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and earning this graduate degree will allow her to broaden the impact she has on women of color, both within the hospital and throughout the community. With advanced training she’s better equipped to advocate for equitable care, elevate the voices of women who are often unheard, and create pathways for support, education, and empowerment.
“This degree isn’t just a professional step forward,” Trevana says, “It’s a commitment to making sure women of color receive the compassionate, informed, and culturally responsive care they deserve.”
Trevana loves Framingham State’s hybrid program because the nursing instructors create a learning environment where working instructors can succeed and flourish.
“I believed I was a nurse with a ‘small voice,’” she says, “But FSU’s MSN program has amplified that voice, giving me the confidence and clarity to speak up, advocate, and lead.”
Live to the Truth
At Framingham State, “Live to the Truth” isn’t just our motto, it’s a mindset. In an age of misinformation and blurred lines, truth demands courage, curiosity, and compassion.

At FSU, you’ll embody this every day - in the classroom, in the community, and in the world beyond.
