RN to BSN Student Jennifer Prosperie talks about the advantages of an 91Ó°ÊÓ nursing program and what she likes about attending while working and taking care of her family.
I’ve been working as a home health and hospice nurse out on the field full-time, nut I’ve just kind of changed jobs recently - so I’m doing marketing for home health now. [I’m a] single mom with three kids.
The RN to BSN program, the way it’s kind of arranged and set up and being able to do it online has been just a great thing for me. It really makes it doable. I would say one thing that I really liked (though it wasn’t really a selling point to me when I was introduced to the program), but after being in the program - the success coaches are such a huge asset.
Advantages of Success Coaches
Not having to go hunt down: what classes do I need? Are there open spots? Registering myself.  Having them take care of that for me has really been a huge help. Especially when you have your job and you have your family. You’ve got all this other stuff going on, that really has been a huge help.
I even mentioned to Julie one time that just cost-wise, well maybe I have a lot of Gen Ed classes - maybe I should do those at community college? But, after thinking about having to go through all that and do it all by myself - I said, no. It’s worth it. Having them [the success coaches], it really makes it worth it. So, I really enjoyed it so far. It’s going really good.
