PREPARED FOR THE PACE OF THE ICU

Cardiac Care Unit/Cardiac ICU, Children鈥檚 Hospital of Philadelphia
Ursinus College: BS, Biology; BA, Media & Communication Studies
鈥淲hile the track was fast-paced, rigorous, and required an exceptional amount of hard work and commitment, the structure of the BSNExpress, the hands-on simulation, clinical experiences, and the supportive faculty allowed me to gain the necessary nursing skills, knowledge, confidence, and patient-first attitude to be a successful nurse.

A PASSION FOR HELPING OTHERS
Jeremy Bonafe, BSN, RN
Clinical Coordinator, Emergency Department, Riddle Hospital
University of the Sciences: BS, Health Science
鈥淚 pursued my BSN because I had a passion for helping others. 奶糖直播 Nursing teaches current evidence-based-practice, provided research opportunities, and allowed me to hone my skills in state-of-the-art simulation labs. This learning has proved to be invaluable as I entered my career as an emergency room nurse, and I am now also able to make a difference one patient at a time.鈥�
