I was looking for an ABSN program and this one is close to home. I already have a bachelor’s degree and this program spring-boarded from the content of my previous degree.

I want upward mobility in my nursing career, I am good with the academic rigor, and I wanted to maximize my time. I appreciated the connection with faculty and their availability.
