Our testimonials

Alisson Maryori Limaylla Villanueva

Graduate

I chose to become a nurse because, when I was very young, I had a personal experience with my older sister. From there I considered science as an opportunity to be able to look at human beings as holistic beings whom I can provide better opportunities in terms of life quality.

Cayetano is characterized for empowering students, for preparing them to be researchers, managers, leaders and also to take action to solve problems that may arise in the daily practice of the profession.

Likewise, as a nurse graduated from Cayetano I am able to manage, research, lead, and make decisions based on critical thinking, as well as implement solutions to social health problems without neglecting the human being from a holistic viewpoint.
