"The RN to BS program has been a perfect complement to my Master of Public Administration Degree. The education helped me gain a greater understanding of the work that we do as nurse administrators every day. The program is easier to attend than you would expect—it really is designed for busy working executives. The instructors are amazing, understanding, and really help you to be successful."
