"The best thing about my RN to BSN experience was the instructors. The program has great instructors who are diligent and great at what they do. For an online program, I always had my questions answered in a timely manner. While I was in the program, my father passed away, and I was so grateful for how empathetic, supportive and encouraging my instructors were during this time. It was such a joy and comfort to receive such support."
Cherish Seaton, BSN, RN
"I love learning, and it's not just for my knowledge – it's also for my patients. I wanted to get into leadership, and UNM does emphasize leadership. I wanted to seek more job opportunities with a bachelor's degree, possibly move into management one day, and someday teach as well. I wanted to be culturally competent, and I crave new professional experiences. I knew getting my bachelor's degree would open up so many other doors as well."
