“My time so far in the Nursing program has been imperative to my future career. I haven’t just been learning how to care for patients, I’ve learned how to lead with empathy, think critically, and advocate fiercely. Nursing is more than a job; it’s a calling, and C-SC and BRCN has helped me answer it.
