"The RN to BSN was accessible for me as a full-time night nurse to complete the program and to be able to do my assignments and tasks in a timely fashion. I didn't have to travel. I could do it in the comfort of my own home, on my own time. So, it made it very easy for me to be able to accomplish that goal from wherever."
鈥淚t's been amazing to go back to school without worrying about travel time. 星空无限传媒 Lafayette gives me that flexibility. I'm able to find the time that fits in my schedule to make sure my work gets done.鈥
鈥淪tarting straight out of high school, I didn鈥檛 really understand how to juggle family and school or the value of time management. So, going back to 星空无限传媒 Lafayette at 40 and finally graduating with the degree I originally went for is really satisfying.鈥
"With the coursework and clinical component, the program is designed to help you recognize treatment plans and communicate clearly when talking to the physician about a patient."
鈥淚 never thought that connection was possible online鈥 And many of the instructors are still working themselves. It鈥檚 nice to know they're doing the same thing as us. They're bringing in real-world experience and showing you that it鈥檚 doable.鈥
鈥淥verall, I鈥檇 say that the RN to BSN has made me look at nursing differently. I used to see it as practice, but now I see it as more of a science. It鈥檚 helped me understand how we develop and inform the practices we use as nurses.鈥
鈥淭his program gave me the confidence to look into MSN or Family Nurse Practitioner programs. It showed me I still have the time to do classwork while working full time. I鈥檓 not afraid of it anymore.鈥
鈥淏eing organized is key in this program. Having a set plan of due dates allowed me to complete my assignments on time and even be able to complete some ahead of time.鈥
鈥淚 worked on some assignments during a trip to Disney, I worked on some stuff at the beach... I just loved that I could still have an active life even though I was in school. I think that was the best part.鈥
鈥淎 nursing instructor told this to me... 'Never forget to pay yourself once you鈥檙e done.' And remember that nothing worth having comes easy. Don鈥檛 give up on yourself because you never know what鈥檚 going to find you.鈥
